					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m not saying &quot;Duke&quot; can&#039;t. I&#039;m saying Ryan Kelly can&#039;t. I think Duke&#039;s perimeter defense will get better and better as the season goes on (especially assuming the freshmen get better). The fact is Andre Dawkins is and has been a below average defender, and Seth Curry struggles to be a lockdown guy. The 2010 team was incredible defensively. Very different. Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler were great, versatile on-ball defenders. This team doesn&#039;t have those guys. I think Mason did very well defending Sullinger, but the rest of Ohio State&#039;s starters walked all over Duke&#039;s defense.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ah, the &quot;Duke can&#039;t deal with athleticism&quot; chant starts early this year. I&#039;m not saying Duke is a title contender but Kansas is plenty athletic, and the 2010 champs had to deal with the same criticism after their loss to georgetown and following the DG &quot;alarmingly unathletic&quot; comment. 
 Ohio State ran ahead 11-0 and closed the 1st half 11-2. That&#039;s a 20pt differential and Duke lost by 22. Duke played their worst game but was only -2 outside of those 2 terrible stretches. Stopping runs comes with experience so there&#039;s no need to panic.
 The only interesting thing about Julius Hodge&#039;s comment is that anyone listens to Julius Hodge. Yeah, he put up numbers but his squads were irrelevant and he was the only show. His conference records were 9-7,9-7,11-5,and 7-9 (as a senior!). 11-5 for Duke would be considered a disaster. For Julius, that was a major accomplishment. I guess to avoid &quot;embarassing&quot; themselves Duke should mirror the defensive intensity that Hodge showed when he punched Chris Paul in the groin during the ACC tourney. People don&#039;t forget, Julius.]]></description>
