Duke, not hearing Alonzo Gee's name called very much. What's the scoop?

4/9 from the field...2/2 from the line. 10 points so far..

Gee has played well.

Our defense is playing good overall, we just lose focus for a second or two, but I like the intensity.

The absolute biggest difference this year:

We are so much more athletic and instead of getting a rebounbd and walking it up we are going down court UNC style and challenging their guards and going up with it. When you are young you have to get some easy points, and we have done that.

If we get stuck in a half court game like last year we are in trouble.

I would rather Hollinger crash the boards on offense and try to scrap for a rebound because when the other team pushed it he is useless do to his size.
