Curious to see if Duke goes back to hunting Williamson. He's not big enough to defend their guards. Replacing him with Monsanto leaves us perilously thin on ball handling, though. I didn't see the UVA game, but the same obviously applies to Clark and that didn't prove insurmountable.
The UVA game was inexplicable. Griffin made one bucket and Banchero didn't take a shot in the entire 2nd half. UVA made 1 three pointer all game until the last-second game winner. Banchero drove it into the paint and could have taken a 5 footer to seal it and tried some ridiculous shovel pass into 2 defenders instead. Clark and the other UVA guards barely bothered getting a hand up against Duke's starters from deep but they shot 25% anyway on mostly wide open looks anyway.
We'd beat that Duke team by 20 so I hope that's who shows up. But my guess is we'll get something closer to what we saw last time against us, Banchero taking 23 shots and hitting step-back 3's, Griffin making everything, etc. It'll be infuriating to watch comparatively.
