That’s a final from the IZOD center. Duke 90 – Temple 67.

Temple is back within twelve. Stuff is starting to fall for the Owls…

This has been a weird game. Two minutes of solid play followed by two minutes of sloppy play followed by two minutes of solid play. Duke has maintained a comfortable lead, however.

Duke is punishing Temple on both sides of the ball now. Lead is up to 21. #Duke 64 – #Temple 43.

Ethan Novak Ethan Novak December 8, 20124:40 pm

Lead is up to 17. Duke has too many offensive weapons for Temple to handle.

Duke looking every bit as sloppy as they did at the end of the first half. Lead is down to 10

I wonder if we’ll get an Alex Murphy sighting in the second half…

Rasheed continues to impress. Looks far better than most expected he would at this point.

Ethan Novak Ethan Novak December 8, 20124:06 pm

Duke is getting sloppy. Really don’t like the way the offense has looked ever since they opened up the lead to 14. Duke 44 – Temple 32 now.

Ethan Novak Ethan Novak December 8, 20123:59 pm

Temple gaining a little momentum, here. They’ve cut the lead to 37-24 and are starting to hit their shots. Still must overcome a ton of foul trouble, however.

Ethan Novak Ethan Novak December 8, 20123:56 pm

Curry looking healthy today. That is HUGE for the Blue Devils.

Ethan Novak Ethan Novak December 8, 20123:53 pm

Amile Jefferson getting serious minutes today. Really started to show what he can do against Delaware last Saturday. Duke leads 29-18

Ethan Novak Ethan Novak December 8, 20123:49 pm

Temple – 31% from the field. Duke – 52% from the field. This one could get ugly fast.

Ethan Novak Ethan Novak December 8, 20123:47 pm

Duke’s bigs are absolutely dominating right now. Lead is up to 26-14.

Ethan Novak Ethan Novak December 8, 20123:44 pm

Plumlee is shooting 50% free throws? Cut him.

Hey, all! Ethan here. Just got in. Blame Los Angeles traffic. Anyways, let’s get down to covering the game, shall we?
