Duke picked a bad night for their worst defensive effort of the season. Some of the offensive rebounds they allowed tonight were baffling. Several off ball lapses. Not going to get it done on the road.
Dukeโs guards have been getting to the rim at will and canโt buy a whistle. Itโs an auto trip to the line if a UNC guard drives and throws up a wild shot.
Roach was clearly fouled but it turns in to a foul on Flip on the other end. Have to find a way overcome those types of sequences tonight. There will be plenty of them.
Dukeโs defensive gameplan was well executed last night.
Cattoor canโt even get to the dribble handoff here bc Roach completely disrupts him coming off the initial off ball screen.
Communication and off ball defense was as good as it has been all season.
Blows my mind that https://t.co/7ZlgROrMhy has reached over 400K site visits. Just donโt have time to keep up with it for now. May start up again next season. Thank you to all for reading over the last three years!
Unforced turnovers have been the only thing stopping Duke's offense tonight. Shooting 60% from the floor and 64% from three. Six guys have at least two assists. Getting what they want when they don't turn it over.
Absolutely huge shot by Roach. Great job by Stewart with the controlled tip to Flip to keep the possession alive. Needed that badly after those last few minutes.
