By all means let’s celebrate Duke’s win over Oral Roberts. The Golden Eagles averaged 84.2 ppg, good for third nationally.
Duke held them to 51, 33 points under their average. That’s extremely impressive.
But it was Oral Roberts, not UCLA or UConn.
This was a team with a 7-5 center and a 6-0 star guard.
Connor Vanover wasn’t much of a challenge really. He is 7-5, but like most guys that size, he’s not particularly mobile and he’s also quite thin. He can block shots on smaller players, sure, because he’s 7-5. But he’s hardly, say, Tacko Fall.
