Duke 105, Barton 44

After, getting off to a slow start, the Devils turned it on and completely ran away with this one in the second half. The outside shots never really started falling, but everything else looked pretty strong. Once again, Duke was over 50% on the offensive rebounds and over 70% on the defensive glass. They forced a TON of turnovers - 43% of Barton possessions were turnovers, and Duke stole the ball better than 1 in every 4 times down the court. That resulted in a lot of fast break points and layups for the Devils, and another high possession game. The rotation broke down into 4 groups for this game - Henderson, Smith, Singler, and Scheyer played starter's minutes, Nelson and Thomas played 6th man minutes, Paulus, Zoubek, and Pocius played "rotation" minutes (although Pocius' were quite effective - again, we were a full point per possession better than the opponent with Marty on the court), and Davidson and McClure (welcome back Dave) got very short court time.

It was another good game for the freshmen: Singler was an all-around beast, Smith had another solid game (including a 33% assist rate), and King again showed a nose for the ball on the defensive glass (better than 33% on the season). Aside from the shooting, everyone else turned in a solid output as well. All in all, it was another good warm up.
