Duke Survives Belmont

Duke survived tonight against Belmont, winning 71 to 70.  As well as Belmont played the Blue Devils generally looked terrible.  Henderson won that game on his own down the stretch, scoring the last four points and grabbing a key rebound. Henderson and Paulus were the only Dukies who played hard or well tonight.

DeMarcus Nelson looked especially bad. I think he only scored 2 points, and missed a big free throw late.   Singler didn't look much better.  Both will have to play a lot better if they are to win on Saturday and advance to the sweet 16.
