UNC seemed to dominate most of the game,yet this Duke team seems like they can turn it on like a light switch when they desire. The 13-0 stretch at the end was HUGE, as was the stretch at end of first half. (except for the buzzer beater that gave them momentum.)
Duval's injury may not have affected the outcome, yet he was obviously hurting when he came back. I think we were down 4-1 and on a fast break when he went down. He goes to the bench and BAM, its 15-3. Regardless we need him 100% like he was at Cameron in the win last week!
Overall I agree w/Coach K: too many turnovers, not enough rebounding. The only thing I disagree with him on is the defensive performance. He said holding UNC to 74 "is good." I agree in principle, but in a game where your offense is pretty dreadful, I think your defense can carve out a win. It just appeared UNC had much easier shots inside the zone, and we had to work much harder for our points.
I still think this team can win it all if we're healthy and on the same page. Coach K is the G.O.A.T and he can really use this game as a learning experience for our team. He will.
