Next up for Duke is Appalachian State in Cameron Wednesday.
Coached by Dustin Kerns, who is in his second season at Boone, the Mountaineers have been doing okay. Kerns came into the season with a 35-27 record at App State which might not sound like much but is actually pretty impressive. Remember he took over with someone else’s players and doesn’t have the resources of a Power Five team. He’s built and kept the team over .500 which is a significant accomplishment.
The Mountaineers have a deep rotation, with 11 guys getting double-digit minutes and they have a bit of size, albeit slim, with three guys 6-9 or taller.
