(A) John Tice (24) starts on the block and curls high off a Corsley Edwards (34) screen.
(B) Victor Payne (41) sets a second screen for Tice and clears the strong side.

(C) Rick Mickens (21) is the Blue Devils' leading scorer, and he can do damage both inside and out - he shoots 39% from three-point range.
(D) Mickens cuts into the paint and gets the feed from Edwards (34). If he gets his steps right, the Blue Devils' First Dance could be one to remember.
