At the end of the day, the most important thing is that Duke exited the season-opener against Army with an 84-50 win and without any injuries.
But Monday night's performance was not what fans - or Jon Scheyer - expected out of a team that looked so dominant during its exhibition schedule. The Blue Devils looked discombobulated and out of sorts on offense for large stretches of the evening.
After hitting their first seven shots of the game, Duke finished the first half hitting just 5-of-20 and managed just 33 points against an Army team that ranked 338th in KenPom's preseason projections.
