Marshall ready to return

It's been fun enough seeing the addition of a 100% healthy Quinn Cook which allowed everyone else's games to improve. I can't wait to see Marshall playing in the middle at times which allows Mason to play some at power forward when Marshall is in the game. They'll also be able to play Kelly at the 3 at times which should take allow Seth Curry to get additional minutes on the bench to minimize his minutes and keep him ready for the stretch run.

It should be exciting. Marshall has always been called the best of the 3 brothers. Loved the double-doubles by Kelly and Mason.

Good for him!

He's gonna suprise a lot of people when they see what he brings to this team. Quin said that he dominated on the defensive end during early practice sessions and has made great strides on offense also. Can't wait to see this team in March.

Quinn cook said the guy was a beast on the def boards in practice, if we can get half beast out of him this season I'm good. Lol

With a healthy engaged Marshall this team has a great chance for the final four, maybe without, but depth is an area they can improve on for sure, luckily it's early and there is time for that improvement.

This team is playing at a very high level, competing hard, playing good defense and closing out games strong. Anyone that says this isn't a final four caliber team is just hating. Long way to go. But, as of now...playing the early schedule Duke has and still without Marshall, I like this Duke team to make the final four.

RE: Marshall ready to return

I can agree with that assessment, they are playing excellent team ball, injuries are what they must stay away from.

RE: Marshall ready to return

There's gonna be a new Marshall in town soon, boys. Hi Yo Silver!

Not so much hating, just all-too familiar with dook's recent NCAA Big Dance history, after being ranked highly at some point each season and always being favored over those teams that "SLAPPED 'EM" out of the tourney so inhospitably.

(Flameouts 7 out of last 8 years including Lee says "Howdy".)

These are just good facts of which to keep mindful.

U keep in mind most wins all time div 1 head coach, and all those recent nit trips, worse than a 16 sour out bud.
