November is a month in college basketball to figure out lineups, assess, and a good time to teach-to-tape. Even with victories over a tougher than advertised Texas team and Kansas, there were still questions about the Duke Blue Devils. The thought was that a turkey day matchup with John Calipari’s Arkansas team would answer a few of those questions about this iteration of the Duke Blue Devils. Being a 7-0 team tells us partially what we need to know, but how would they do facing adversity, and would Arkansas be the team to provide it?
Arkansas came into Thursday with one of the more electric backcourts in the country and an experienced front court as well.
