The scoring droughts and the lack of perimeter shooting are major causes of concern as is the way Purdue dominated Duke on the boards.
But this is a young squad and they will take important lessons from this game. After the break, the podcast crew looks ahead to the first place Duke will get to apply those lessons, an ACC-Big Ten Challenge game against Ohio State. The Buckeyes present several interesting challenges and this will be a very important game for Duke to show they belong among the top teams in the land.
