Amazing isn't it? How teams look good all year but once they play Duke, which is not a dominating defensive team in any way shape or form, they just commit silly turnovers and miss a lot of the easy shots they usually make. It's almost comical.

Come on, the guy flopped against Okafor. Correct no call.

They didn't show a replay, so you don't know if he did or not. Okafor bumped him, and the guy was on the floor. If roles are reversed, it's a foul.

I don't think I can watch this unless ND goes a run. Everything about those floppers just nauseates me.

Still waiting for the Tyus Jones leg kick flop. I'm sure it's coming as soon as Duke senses a ND run.

I didn't think I was going to but hate Jones with a passion. He's so gutless the way he plays.

Notre Dame's defense is horrendous. Every stop they've had so far feels like luck. I get the feeling that the only way they make a run is to score at an absurd rate. Like shoot 50+% from three from now until the end of the game.

That said, it's obvious how both of these teams rate among the best in the country in offensive efficiency. Almost every shot they take is in the paint, just outside, or from three. There aren't many shots between 7 feet and the three point line.

Duke does a great job using the glass around the rim and on short shots.
