Jon Scheyer is preaching to the choir following second weak performance from Duke basketball
Georgia Tech v Duke | Grant Halverson/GettyImagesThe Duke basketball program looked unlike itself once again on Dec. 31 against Georgia Tech, as the Blue Devils squeaked out an 85-79 victory over the Yellow Jackets, which entered the game ranked 134th at KenPom, after heading into the halftime locker room down 43-39.
This was the second contest in a row where the Blue Devils just looked...off. The program suffered its first loss of the season to Texas Tech at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 20, and this was the second game in a row where the defense wasn't anywhere near the level of intensity and connectivity that fans grew accustomed to seeing over the team's first 11 games of the season.
