Mason Plumlee looking like the Mason Plumlee from November and December again -- the guy who was the National Player of the Year leader.

Duke runs their clock-draining offense which eventually leaves Mason Plumlee open for a dunk.
Make that back-to-back layups for Cook. Maximum degree-of-difficulty points on both.

Coach K is still not impressed with his team's 21-point lead.
