Different players on different nights. Heck, different players in different halves. Through six games, including an Empire Classic championship clinched Friday night, the number of ways this Duke team can win games continues to be the theme of the early season.
Consider how many players had to fill a key role in Duke’s hard fought 81-73 victory over Georgetown. Duke found themselves down 11 in the first half, and freshman Matthew Hurt, who had been a solid source of offense so far this season, was clearly not himself. Neither was Alex O’Connell, who badly missed his only two shot attempts off the bench.
