So, either Duke's players are just not very smart or they just aren't taught to pick up a player and box out when a shot goes up. This is the MO for this team and it has often been a weakness for Duke. When a shot goes up, they don't box out players, they go to the rim and watch the ball. Just really poor fundamentals.
Shots will even out but we need to stay engaged and force tough shots. The early shots were easy shots and they built a ton of confidence which led to making the late tough shots. If we keep forcing tough shots it will even out
That 3 by Ingram was great but we gave them the basket right before. Coach K's got to get it through to our guys that UNCW not only came to play but beat Duke. I feel confident they will get the message no matter how Coach K delivers it in the locker room. OFC
They are defending our sets very well and not letting us get open looks at the 3 point line.
Also, I don't understand how they are out rebounding us on the offensive end. You can go rebound standing underneath the rim, the only way you will grab it is if it goes thru the net!
We are not playing good "D". We got to get Grayson and Kennard hitting some shots in the second half. Ingram can't win it by himself. Hopefully Coack K will make some adjustments. Let's go Duke!
