Duke rookies finish loud, if not strong

Bookmark and Share

DURHAM — Duke’s three freshmen didn’t register in the game but each had a moment in front of soldout, nearly full, Cameron Indoor Stadium crowd late in the win over Presbyterian on Monday that could boost their confidence for future games. Like today's 9 p.m.game against Georgia Southern

Miles Plumlee, who started but played 13 minutes, made a noisy block with 2:12 left. Olek Czyz put down a power dunk on a baseline drive off of a Greg Paulus pass. And Elliott Williams executed a 360-degree spin and dunk at game’s end.

Listen to Williams and Czyz talk about why it was important to end strong after suffering from nerves all night.
