Now its a matter for Duke to help make Harry Giles more comfortable.The freshmans debut is out of the way, coming in less-than-spectacular fashion.On Wednesday night, hell play less than a half-hour from home when the fifth-ranked Blue Devils (11-1) meet Elon (7-4) at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, N.C.Its going to be great going near (the) hometown, Giles said. But its just another chance to go play.The 6-foot-10 player had been out with a knee injury, delaying his much-anticipated first college game. On the recruiting trail, he had been rated the No. 1 player nationally in this freshman class.He was scoreless in four minutes Monday night against Tennessee State, but it was a sign of progress nonetheless.Im just happy to be able to walk off the court healthy. I love the game, he said. My whole goal was getting back on the court. I didnt know when that was going to be.The Blue Devils play their final Atlantic Coast Conference tune-up, so Giles doesnt have much time to get up to speed.Its just a matter of him being in shape, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. He hasnt played in 14 months.For Giles, playing as a reserve and in limited minutes might take time to get used to.Just trying to figure it out, trying to get used to the speed. It was fast, too, he said. Just trying to figure it out and get a feel for it.Frustrating because how it went. ... It was terrible, my performance. I just have to get better. ... That was shaking the rust off, getting the kinks out.Three Duke freshmen began the season out with injuries. Now theyre all back in various roles.It cant be about him or (Marques) Bolden or (Jayson) Tatum or whatever, Krzyzewski said. It has got to be about Duke. Just fit in, and they want to.Elon is coming off Sundays 68-53 road victory against St. Peters, snapping a three-game skid. The Phoenix won despite playing without senior guard Luke Eddy, who was dealing with a knee injury.It was a great team victory, Elon coach Matt Matheny said. Our guys showed a lot of toughness and resiliency in adverse situations. I thought we played really well together.Eddy had a streak of 42 consecutive starts snapped. Hes averaging 11.4 points per game and tops the team with 43 assists.With a 6-1 record, Elon had been off to its best start in 29 years. Then came a narrow loss at Georgetown followed by setbacks to UNC Asheville and Radford.This is an Elon home game at the coliseum, which is about 15 miles from its campus and where the Phoenix have played a few high-profile opponents in recent seasons.Duke owns an 18-5 series lead as the teams will meet for the sixth time in seven seasons. Duke also won in 2013 in Greensboro.Five Elon players are averaging double-figure scoring, led by forward Brian Dawkins at 12.5 points per game, so the available options are numerous.To have multiple guys on the court that can score, even when we make substitutions, I think makes us difficult to guard at times, Matheny said.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Anyone who ever hit the reset button on a Nintendo will understand how No. 6 Ohio State played Saturday night against No. 10 Nebraska. For three games, the Buckeyes looked as if they would play in Tampa, all right: on Jan. 2 in the Outback Bowl, not a week later in the Outfront Bowl -- or the College Football Playoff Championship Game to you.Ohio State struggled to beat Wisconsin in overtime, lost on a blocked kick at Penn State and hung on to beat Northwestern. So the Buckeyes hit reset. They pretended October never happened and picked up where they left off in their last game in September, the one when they were ranked No. 3 and embarrassed No. 12 Oklahoma, 45-24.It felt like September, what with a full day of tailgating in brilliant sunshine warm enough that one parking lot attendant on the west side of Ohio Stadium wore shorts. The Buckeyes even dressed for a reset, although one from September 1916. They wore scarlet jerseys with gray vertical stripes, plain gray britches and plain dark gray helmets, all as a tribute to the Buckeyes first Western Conference (the Big Ten to you) championship won a century ago.By the time the Buckeyes took the field on Saturday night, No. 4 Texas A&M had lost at Mississippi State and left open the final spot on the playoff dance card. By the time No. 5 Washington faced California in the Pac-12 After Dark, Ohio State had made a compelling case for leapfrogging the Huskies.Compelling as in a final score of Buckeyes 62, Cornhuskers 3. As in the Buckeyes scoring on 10 of 12 possessions. As in the Huskers getting four first downs on their opening possession and five in the rest of the game. As in Ohio States biggest margin of victory over a ?ranked team ever.Ohio State defensive end Sam Hubbard described the sense of urgency that gripped the Buckeyes over the past week, how they repeated plays at practice to eliminate mistakes, how he watched more video, how he awoke early to come in for treatment to freshen his legs.I think we were just taking stuff for granted, Hubbard said. Taking Victory Meal [on Sunday night] for granted. Taking the success we had, since theres so much here at Ohio State, for granted. The young guys had really never experienced a loss. They were thinking we were just going to win every game just because we were Ohio State.People were taking it for granted, myself included. Everyone was. We just needed a wake-up call, and we refocused ourselves.Buckeyes quarterback J.T. Barrett played like the Heisman candidate he once resembled, completing 26 of 38 passes for 290 yards and four touchdowns and rushing for 39 yards. This was the Barrett we expected to see all season: calm in the pocket, able to run or pass, moving but never panicking, even when he missed sure touchdown throws two times in three snaps in the first half.I was comfortable, and I knew we were on the edge of it to really break through, Barrett said. I wasnt surprised, if thats what you want me to say.Barrett doesnt have any trouble finding Curtis Samuel, which is more than you can say for the Huskers defense. Samuel caught two of those touchdown passes, including a 75-yarder on the first play of the second half, and finished with 178 all-purrpose yards.dddddddddddd Neither Barrett nor Samuel touched the ball in the fourth quarter.The Buckeyes defense contributed two scores, with its fifth and sixth pick-sixes of the season; the fifth one set an Ohio State season record.And the Huskers scored one lousy field goal. If you wish to move lousy three words earlier in the previous sentence, the facts would back you up. After a 7-0 start to the season and a gutty overtime loss at Wisconsin last week, Nebraska showed up before 108,750 fans utterly unprepared for what awaited them. It took Ohio State only three plays to let the Huskers know.On third-and-3 at the Nebraska 31, quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. took a three-step drop, looking left. Ohio State linebacker?Raekwon McMillan?followed Armstrongs eyes, then deflected the pass to safety Damon Webb, who returned it 36 yards for the record-setting touchdown 94 seconds into the game.That would not be the worst thing that happened to Armstrong on Saturday night. In the second quarter, two drives after Armstrong broke Taylor Martinezs school record for career total offense (10,233 yards), he came around left end for an 11-yard run. At the left sideline, Buckeyes safety Malik Hooker hit Armstrong at his hip and swept his legs out from under him. Armstrong came down on his right shoulder and slammed his head into the FieldTurf.Armstrong left the field strapped to a board, with his left thumb up to let everyone know he could move something. And with 10 minutes left in the third quarter, in the TV timeout after Ohio State extended its lead to 45-3, Armstrong emerged from the visitors tunnel in a black sweatsuit and jogged across to the Huskers sideline, where he embraced his fellow seniors -- tight end Trey Foster and then wide receiver Alonzo Moore.Armstrongs recovery removed the only cloud over Ohio States night and probably even took some of the sting out of Nebraskas performance. A little bit of perspective, and all that. Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer began his comments after the game by saying, Wow, I didnt see that one coming. Then he took the long view, explaining that these are teenagers, in the process of maturing.Weve all been around this sport long enough [to know] that when that youth grows up, its kind of cool to watch, Meyer said. And Im hoping thats whats happening here. Im not saying it is yet, because weve got a lot left.Nebraska coach Mike Riley, for his part, sounded more mystified than downcast.It looked very strange to me, he said. I didnt feel like we played very loose.Meyer called it an A to Z very good performance by our guys, as in from the first minute to the last. As the Buckeyes offensive backups drove downfield in the final minutes, punter Cameron Johnston kicked a few in the net at the south edge of the Ohio State team area. But the scrubs kept moving the chains. Though Johnston held for eight extra points and two field goals, he never got onto the field for a punt. That begged one question to Johnston after the game:Would he shower?Probably not, Johnston said with a laugh, and then he ran to join his teammates. ' ' '
