POST VIEW

While North Carolina monitors the status of Ty Lawson's toe, Duke is getting healthier. Guard Nolan Smith got in some light basketball work on Tuesday and according to a Duke official, "Things look promising for some action in Atlanta (for Smith)."

The Blue Devil sophomore hasn't played since February 25th because of a concussion he received after crashing into Maryland's Dave Neal.

Smith hasn't started since the Boston College game on February 15th but Duke could use his athleticism in the post season.

Duke and North Carolina are the only teams that won't be practicing on Wednesday in Atlanta. The Devils will fly in Thursday afternoon and play in Friday's nightcap against the winner of Boston College and Virginia.
