First half notes

Early, Duke wasted a steal with a subsequent turnover which resulted in a long-range two.

An early ally-oop to McRoberts off the weave from DeMarcus.

McRoberts gets called for charge early, and, predictably, complains that it's "bullsh**." Followed up by another offensive fouls.

At the 15:53 mark, McRoberts gets called for his second foul. Unbelievably, he complains about it all the way to the bench.

At around 10:10, Paulus and Scheyer combine for back to back threes to go up 4. Scheyer drains his second a couple miutes later.

DeMarcus continues the foul and turnover fiesta on the next time down the floor to help State tie the game.

At 6:21 Duke picks up their umpteenth foul.

At 4:03, Pocius drains his second three pointer, shortly after Scheyer racks up his third. One of the keys for Duke if they want to win is for the hot and cold Scheyer to have an on game and for someone else on the bench to pick up for Gerald Henderson's absence. So far, Jon and Pocius are coming through.

At 1:23, Tim Denison exclaims, "Did you just see that?" This in response to Martinas Pocius splitting three defenders to score with one second left on the shot clock.

11 first half turnovers for Duke. That's a lot.

At the half: Duke leads 34-29.
