Plumlee is the top player on the top-ranked Blue Devils, leading them in scoring (19.3) and rebounding (11.3), and is among the leaders in Division I in rebounding and field goal percentage (.641). With Duke playing back-to-back games this week, the senior center had 18 and nine with three blocks in routing Cornell, then came back with 21 and 15 in a blowout of Elon. Plus, he's having his best season at the line (69.7). And don't forget: Duke has wins over Kentucky, Louisville and Ohio State — all Final Four teams last season.
