Duke tops Miami

A more appropriate title probably would've been the Ryan Kelly show, but we'll keep it as is. The 6-11' Power Forward, made his return on the big stage after missing 14 straight games. Kelly went 10 for 14 from the field, with 7 out of nine of them coming from downtown. After today's display, it is obvious, that the Blue Devils are a better team with Kelly on the floor. After a back and forth start, Miami had a 22-16 lead, behind Shane Larkins. Larkins posted 25 points in a losing effort. Miami held a 36-34 lead at the half, but in the second half things got going for Duke. Behind the Cameron Crazies, Duke went up 75-65 with under two to play. But it didn't go without a Miami answer, after a number of Duke missed free throws, and Miami aggressiveness, It was a three point game, when the Canes got two decent look from three. After rimming out on both, the Blue Devils walked away with a W, that kept them in contention for an ACC Title.
