____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>With about 10 minutes left in the men's basketball team's ACC opener Saturday night, Kenny Inge was hanging in the air, poised to make a dunk that could provide some solace to a blown-out N.C. State. But in a flash, Corey Maggette thrust his hand up to the backboard and got called for a foul, but also stopped Inge and his dunk cold. Put quite simply, welcome to the ACC. "Now that we're in the ACC, everybody's going to play us physical," Nate James said. "Instead of always taking it, we've got to be prepared to dish it out." And indeed, No. 4 Duke showed Saturday night that this team is not just tame and talented, but can muscle up with the rowdy Wolfpack. Three Blue Devils fouled out of the game, and both teams threw their share of elbows. "I was heated; I'm still heated," Chris Carrawell said. "I think it got ugly toward the end. Every time we play N.C. State, it's going be one of those hard-fought, trash-talking games. I didn't like playing in today's game, but that's what you have to do." Shane Battier, in particular, took more than his share of WCW-style blows. Although Battier was not awarded any charges, he experienced considerable pain while on the ground. In addition, he took a knee to the back that earned Inge a technical foul at the end of the first half. The sophomore took the physical play in stride. "It seems like every game I get stepped on, fallen on, kicked," Battier said. "It's just another day at the office." From the outset, Duke's physical fullcourt press was somewhat of a shock to N.C. State. Nearly six minutes had passed in the first half before the Wolfpack got their first field goal. Perhaps it was the star-studded audience, including Grant Hill, Danny Ferry, Roshown McLeod, Steve Wojciechowski and Alex Rodriguez. Perhaps it was returning home from two weeks on the road. But from the start of the game on, the Duke defense played with special tenacity. The Blue Devils forced 29 Wolfpack turnovers in the game, and for much of the first half N.C. State had more turnovers than field goals. The Blue Devils also held the Wolfpack to 37.7-percent shooting, including just 25 percent in the first half. "There was an extra air of excitement on the court tonight," Battier said. "One focus of the pregame talk was to leave all the emotion out on the court. It was a special point of emphasis." In the second half, James exemplified Duke's emotional defense. He dashed around the court, stealing the ball twice and remarkably saving the ball from going out-of-bounds. To fire up his team and the crowd, he threw his fist into the air like the Polish kid who was sitting two rows above the Duke bench. "That's the way I play; that's the way I have to play," James said. "This is what I spend most of my time doing. This is what I love. This is my passion. "It's a crime for guys to go out there and not be emotional, especially in Cameron." For coach Mike Krzyzewski, the physical nature of the game helped to explain Duke's major lapse-20 turnovers committed, 13 of which came in the first half. "You're going to have a lot of turnovers because both teams play the ball so hard," he said. "You don't see that in every game, so teams aren't used to it." The Blue Devils have indeed struggled with turnovers all season, recording 21 against Michigan State and 17 against Cincinnati. And N.C. State is not exactly representative of the whole ACC. With Maryland rolling to nine-straight wins and North Carolina showing continued improvement, the Blue Devils know that they will have to stop giving the ball away. "You want to take care of your business, because you know [other ACC teams] are going to be taking care of theirs," Carrawell said. Now, the Blue Devils return to a spate of non-conference games. But when they return to ACC play on Jan. 3, they'll face the stiffest of challenges in No. 2 Maryland.
