Blue Devil Notes

Since our first opponent is Duke (Nov. 13th, FSN) I thought I'd post some recent information on the Blue Devils. To read the latest on Duke, take a trip over to the Duke Basketball Report.

- Duke defeated Pfeiffer (Division II) 128-70 in their first exhibition game. Kyle Singler scored 21 points. Freshman Mason Plumlee scored 18 points and pulled down 12 rebounds.

- The Blue Devil's won their second exhibition game against the defending Division II champions Findlay, 84-48. Kyle Singler led Duke with 20 points.

- Duke's starting PG, Nolan Smith will not be available for the first 2 Duke games because he played in an unsanctioned game this summer.

Smith will miss the first two games of the regular season for partaking in an unsanctioned summer league event near his home in Washington, D.C. Duke's junior guard forgot to clear his participation in the games with the school's compliance department, which caused a problem when Smith told the Blue Devils' coaching staff upon his return to campus for the second summer school session.
