Don't go questioning Marshall Plumlee's toughness. The Duke center is a ROTC member and committed to becoming a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army reserves when he's done with basketball.

Now he's supplied another reminder in the ACC tournament, as he suffered a broken nose with just under eight minutes to play in the Blue Devils' 92-89 wino ver the NC State on Wednesday.

Plumlee took an elbow to the face from teammate Matt Jones, and after leaving the game to have his nose looked at, returned to action.

He finished with 17 points, including four with the broken nose.
