2 buckets and 3 bricks from Duke's disappointing loss to Michigan State
Duke got punched in the mouth on Tuesday night in Chicago against Michigan State. The Spartans were the tougher team, led wire-to-wire, and earned a 79-73 win over the Blue Devils in the State Farm Champions Classic.
It was a jarring performance. There were very few positives to take away from the game. Duke's offense was a mess in the halfcourt, and the defense wasn't nearly good enough to compensate for it.
This team has some serious work to do, something Jon Scheyer admitted in his postgame comments.
It's far too early to panic, however, and Duke will likely look demonstrably better next Tuesday when Illinois comes to Cameron.
