Kennard is the Alpha

I think the sooner the other players and the coaches accept this, the better.

1000% spot on. The lone bright spot in an otherwise nightmarish season.

I think most people knew this before yesterday....it was just reinforced.

The main worry for me is that Luke isn't going to do what he did yesterday every game. It's alarming to me that that's what it takes for this team to win on the road....even at home.

I came here to start a thread entitled "It Luke's team". But, as is not uncommon, I am a day late and a dollar short. That being said, Mr. Norlander nailed it.

One of the challenges of this year has been Luke's unexpected ascendency to become the hub of the team. Certainly there were signs last year of how good Luke might be. But this was Grayson's team. As a freshman, Grayson played sparingly, but was an unforgettable hero in the championship game against Wisconsin. That was followed by an incredible sophomore season where his leadership, toughness, talent and highlight-film dunks put him into a position to be a pre-season All American.

But Grayson's strange unsportsmanlike tripping behavior, the suspension, and his being stripped of being a captain has impacted his game and the team's dynamics. That is not to say that Grayson will not recover to be one of the all-time Duke greats and eventually a great NBA player. What it does mean is that he has ceded the go to man designation to Luke. That must be difficult for both of them and for the team. But facts do not lie, neither do our eyes.

Frank did well to manage the comeback. That pass was well timed and he stalled just long enough to set it up.

Luke is incredible! That 2nd half performance of his was one for the ages.

The amazing thing about his second half was he played most of it with four fouls. If I'm Wake his man would be going to the basket to get Kennard out of the game.

No it was thought by commentators that he had 4 when he really had 2. Still one of greatest shooting exhibitions of all time
