I was anxiously awaiting to see how Duke would come out against Army, a team that, despite there being an obvious talent and size disparity, would fight the Blue Devils to the best of their ability until the final buzzer. True to form Army was scrappy, especially in the first half of the game, catching Duke off guard a few times with how willing they were to pull the trigger from nearly anywhere on the court, and when Duke would play overly aggressive on the perimeter to try to mitigate that, they’d backdoor cut. They scouted Duke fairy well, and Duke had some trouble pulling away in the first half.
