Lineup vs. Duke

[Mr. Nielsen]

Buycks
DJO
Butler
Crowder
Otule

with Vander getting significant minutes. It will be interesting to see who Duke starts. It will be Irving, Smith and Singler. Just don't know which of the other 3 traditional players will start

If Blue has started every game so far this year, he will start this one.

Buycks -- Irving
DJO     -- Smith
Blue    --  Singler
JFB     --  Kelly
Otule  --  Plumlee

With Crowder coming off the bench fairly early for Otule most likely.  If we don't have Fulce and Gardner, beyond that our frontline bench may be a problem.  I guess, looking at this, JFB and Blue could have quickness advantages to start, and offensively that's where they start.  Backup guards: Dawkins and Curry v. Reggie and Cadougan.  No easy task.  Guys will have to step up.

Otule  --  Plumlee

I agree with this starting five 100%. I'm really hoping we can get some early minutes for Erik Williams as well. I think that he might be able to draw fouls on the Plumlees, which could make for a very efficient Gardner in the second half (if he's healthy).
