Duke basketball put the pieces together in its victory over Georgia Tech.

It’s been rather the same issues hurting the Duke basketball team in its three game losing streak but the Blue Devils seemed to make the necessary corrections against Georgia Tech.

In losses to Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh, and Louisville it’s been some formula of digging a big first half hole, having Matthew Hurt or Jalen Johnson erase the deficit, one of the players getting into foul trouble, Duke not getting them the ball in crunch time, and then Hurt or Johnson fouling out in the final two minutes.
