Defense, Defense, and More Defense
Another day, another absolutely dominant defensive outing from the Blue Devils. Duke continues to look like the best all-around defensive team in college basketball, excelling in every area on that end of the floor.
Coastal Carolina had little to no hope of finding the paint against the Blue Devils, and Duke took every advantage it could of the Chanticleers' mistakes. In the first half alone, Jon Scheyer's club notched 26 points in the paint, 21 fast-break points, nine steals, four blocks, and it scored 21 points off 12 forced turnovers.
