1/03--Duke Dismantles NC Central 82-29

NC Central is in its first year of Division I play so this scoreline, while impressive, is not really indicative of a "turning-point" where Duke has begun to show dominance. Still, it was clearly a game that allowed the players to shine and to put together a confidence boosting game.
