Sliding across your butt when getting the basketball has never been a travel, by rule. You can go to the floor getting the basketball and slide 10 feet and it is NOT a travel. Just don’t get up or roll over, that makes it a travel.

I hope Marsh buids up stamina and can play more minutes. He is such a difference maker on the low block. Opponents have to guard him or they get dunked on.

He is really good. Knows his role, doesn’t try to do more than that right now and is an imposing presence on the inside.
 
Hildreth has all the intangibles. Hope he can develop a perimeter game by next year. He has improved his free throws so he is developing his game. Being from England probably slowed his development in high school because he could score inside. Most players have hit their offensive peak by the time they are sophomores in college, but Hildreth appears to be an exception.

Btw, let’s not let people sell this win short. Yes, 2 of Duke’s preseason big players didn’t play. But those guys haven’t been productive.

Biggest boost they’d give Duke is rebounding where we dominated and another interior defensive presence which would’ve been pretty helpful since they couldn’t stop Marsh. Although it probably doesn’t change Cam getting to the lane like he did
 
The Va Tech game last year is still the “best” win because it was a top 20 road win but Duke is a top 15-20 home win right now. That’s quality
