Without the best player in the nation in Marvin Bagley, Duke got off to a hot start. Grayson Allen found his shot, the bench was giving good minutes and defense was in the cards for the first time in a long time for this team. It actually looked like this was the first game where the Blue Devils looked like an actual team, not a collection of five-star talent with the same uniforms.
Everything was fine and dandy for the first half but people often forget that college basketball has two halves and not one.
