I think Duke has 2 primary issues....
1. They have a lot of talented individual players but they're all young (minus Roach) and they don't know how to play together yet. They may get better as the year goes along.
2. You can't underestimate the impact of Coach K's departure. Expert strategist and motivator. Not sure Scheyer's the guy. UNC had 2 coaches (Guthrie and Doherty) before getting Roy Williams.
Put it this way, I wasn't scared of Duke at all last night. I was more concerned about us playing a complete game for 40 minutes.

Why wouldn't they call a "simple" common foul?
