Ryan Kelly Made Seven Three-Pointers in a Win Over Miami, and Here’s Video of All of Them

Ryan Kelly hadn’t played a game for Duke since January 8th due to a foot injury, and in his first game back, he had a decent performance: 7-of-9 on three-pointers for a career-high 36 points in a thrilling 79-76 victory over Miami. The Blue Devils are unbeaten with Kelly this year (16-0) and 9-4 without him. Miami – which routed Duke in the earlier meeting – put together a scrappy rally in the final 90 seconds, and had two shots to the send the game to overtime, but missed both.

The win keeps Duke firmly in the mix for a No. 1 seed. Depending on how the NCAA tournament selection committee views those four Kelly-less losses, Duke could still possibly snag a No. 1 seed even with a loss to Miami in the ACC Tournament.

Kelly’s 36 points are the most from a Duke player since J.J. Reddick scored 41 on Texas in 2005.

Seriously, how do you let someone who’s been out of the game for the last 8 weeks come in and get 35+ points??? I’m surprised Duke didn’t cover the spread as well. MIA is a better team, should not have lost this game.

I wached the first 10 minutes and MIA was playing well, driving into the paint and getting some buckets. I thought they rushed a few 3pts early on. Then my Dad and I spent the next hour and a half watching the last 2 episodes of Justified. So some good time spent here.

I knew as soon as I turned it back to live TV, somehow Duke would be leading and of course they were. By 7. There’s no reason Kelly should have had the nite he did unless MIA forgot to cover him. As soon as he got his first 3-4 buckets I would have had a guy bang him hard several times. That’s common sense,he hasn’t run the floor in real game time for 8 weeks!

Now all the talking heads will be asking for Duke to be a no. 1 seed. Even Dickie vitale was showing his dookie blue when he cried for MIA to fouls with a 54 secs to play and a 1 possession game. WTF?!? Does this guy still know bball or is his dookie blue slip showing. Get the fock outta her Dickie V.

as you can see in the video, Caribou, the defense was non-existent

But Jason that’s my point, you got MIA, who is 27th in division I basketball in scoring defense, playing this poorly in such a HUGE game. It makes no sense. It defies logic. It makes you wonder, especially when Vegas sets the line at DUKE -7.5…..mmmmmmmm

TBL, check out the Les Miles rumor out there. Pretty big news if legit. Much bigger than Petrino.

Miami would beat Duke 7 out of 10 on a neutrel court. Plumlee is completely overmatched athleticaly against their bigs.

Man, I agree. Can you imagine what that man is thinking if this isnt true?

Reggie Johnson pretty much cost Miami the game.

Duke probably has just as much of a chance as anyone in a down year but once again they rely too much on threes. They can still get a 1 but I think they lose to UNC.

Why did Brady Hoke cross the road?

He had his dick stuck in a chicken.

So, you would have a guy bang him hard on the 3 point line? That’s called a foul, since no one actually posts up on the 3 point line. Miami lost by 3 to Duke on the road in a game where they had to play without Reggie Johnson for almost the entire second half. They’d beat Duke more often than not at home or the road, but damn, losing to Duke at Cameron isn’t exactly a crime.

It’s hard to defend a 6’10″ guy shooting 3′s unless you have a tall guy who’s comfortable defending on the perimeter, which most teams do not. There’s a reason Steve Novak has managed to stick in the NBA.

///Never will understand the Duke hate.

Because their entire team plays basketball like an absolute bitch. All the ridiculous charges they try to draw 20 feet from the basket. They’re the annoying kid in a pick-up game who calls foul every time down the court and you want to beat up afterwards.
