One of the things that people always talk about when a big game comes up is bench play. That’s going to be more difficult in the case of Duke-UNC in the Final Four because neither team is very deep.
Duke has started Wendell Moore, Paolo Banchero, Mark Williams, AJ Griffin and either Jeremy Roach or Trevor Keels for most of the season.
The bench right now is basically Keels and Theo John. Joey Baker was getting double digit minutes in January but lately he hasn’t played much, getting just 16 minutes since the regular season ended. Bates Jones has played spot minutes.
