Rudder, who's listed at 6-foot-1, later matched up with Gerald Henderson and Jon Scheyer. At one point late in the first half, he fell to the floor in the lane trying to draw an offensive foul on Scheyer.
Rudder's attempt could be described as a flop. He could laugh that off.
"I've been watching them forever," he said of the Blue Devils. "I learned it from them."
--Josh Rudder, player for Lenoir-Rhyne

Why the Blue Devils can't win it

From a Pat Forde article:
We've seen this movie before. Duke blazes impressively out of the gates, is confronted by its limitations (size, depth or athleticism) in the latter third of the regular season, then hits the wall in March. The Devils haven't won more than two games in an NCAA tournament since 2004, despite having No. 1 seeds twice and No. 2 seeds twice as well.
This is yet another good Duke team, with yet another set of apparent flaws. The big men (the young Plumlee brothers, Lance Thomas, Brian Zoubek) are still nothing special. The leading men, Jon Scheyer and Kyle Singler, are still overworked. (Scheyer hasn't played fewer than 36 minutes in a game since December, and Singler has gone the full 40 in each of Duke's last two games.)
The Minutes will believe Duke might have a chance to win it all when it sees the Blue Devils actually advance past the Sweet 16 for the first time since Chris Duhon was in uniform.

Joey Beard -
Highly touted recruit and McDonalds All American - did nothing at Duke and transferred to Boston University. On the bright side, Joey did make 3rd team American East Conference at BU.
