At the end of the day, Duke was simply too talented. That includes the ability to switch defenses. It allows Girard to play off the ball and be the secondary ball handler. With Buddy out, Jimmy picked up the shooting slack with a tremendous offensive effort and sharp shooting that nearly led the Orange to an improbable victory. Kudos to the coaches for getting this team ready and making adjustments such as some triangle and two defense as well as a little man to man. Kudos to the players for leaving everything they had on the court.

The Duke basketball team will begin its postseason on Thursday afternoon in the ACC Tournament as the Blue Devils battle Syracuse for a third time.

The Blue Devils fell against the Hurricanes in their only matchup of the regular season but dominated Boston College in their only matchup of the year. Duke’s most recent victory over Syracuse came on February 26 when Mike Krzyzewski’s team dominated things from the opening tipoff in the Carrier Dome to win, 97-72. The Blue Devils led by as many as 30 points in the game.

It was a decision that overshadowed the game, to an extent. "We're the best friends," Krzyzewski said. You don't want the loss, but if it happens, it becomes the biggest motivating tactic. "It wasn't handled right," Boeheim said, alluding to how Buddy should have instead been sat for the remainder of the Florida State game. It was fitting they found a way to meet one more time before one retires and the other gives it, at least, one more season on the pine. We can improve definitely on that end of the court." "Obviously, versus North Carolina," said Williams, "we got that feeling of knowing that there's not a second chance of playing in Cameron again. These two have known each other for the better part of four decades. Until a few minutes remained in the game, it looked like some hangover effects from that North Carolina stunner to close out the regular season were still on Duke's mind. Despite not being a vintage, dominant Duke performance, the Blue Devils' offense was quite good. You know, if you lose that game we're done, not playing in the ACC Tournament again. It will play Friday night in the semifinal vs.

Duke basketball got hit with food poisoning ahead of Thursday's ACC tournament win over Syracuse but hopes to be in 'a lot better shape' Friday.

In advance of the ACC tournament semifinals, the Blue Zone brings three things that could make the difference for Duke men's basketball as it seeks victory ...

Learning from the things that helped Boston College push its quarterfinal matchup against Miami to overtime, Duke should scheme more zone defense in the ACC semifinals. Furthermore, Boston College’s zone defense against Miami was very effective late in the game and provided many essential turnover opportunities. In their last game against the Hurricanes, the Blue Devils’ defense was dismantled by mismatches due to consistent screens that would allow Miami’s guards to find easy lanes to the hoop. However, the fact that Duke’s best 3-point shooter has only taken four shots from behind the arc in the last two games is concerning. On the season, Griffin has shot 47.9% from three while the NCAA’s current 3-point percentage leader is Demaree King of Jacksonville State with 46.2%. Griffin has barely taken too few 3-point attempts to make the board, but this shows how efficient a shooter he is among the best in the NCAA. Furthermore, his threes have often given the Blue Devils the needed spark to finish out games. The Hurricanes play with a guard heavy lineup.

Duke led by seven in the second half but never put the Tar Heels away. The Blue Devils have won their share of lopsided games this season while building their impressive record. That result, after Duke led 74-71 with 30 seconds to play, left the Blue Devils eager for another crack at Miami. Leading 74-71, Duke’s defenders allowed Miami’s Charlie Moore a lane to drive to the basket, where he scored and drew a foul from Jeremy Roach. Moore missed the free throw, but Jordan Miller secured the rebound. The big reason for the Hurricanes’ success? Even Thursday, Duke led by 11 in the first half against a Syracuse team it had handily beaten twice this year, only to see the Orange battle back to lead by four points at halftime. Against Miami back in January, the Blue Devils led 52-47 with 12:39 to play and, of course, 74-71 with 30 seconds left, before faltering. According to KenPom.com, the Hurricanes turn it over on just 14.3% of their possessions. He passed the ball to Kameron McGusty, who scored to put Miami up 75-74 with 23 seconds left. A lot has transpired since then.” While Duke struggled with its own turnovers against Miami the first time, the Hurricanes have proven to be among the tougher teams to turnover this season.

“The coach and the players have all the confidence in me,” Roach said. We started fouling and they saw the ball go in a lot and then it was a helluva game.” But Boeheim the younger kept the underdogs in the game. has all the trust in me to make that shot.” Duke was able to get open 3-pointers and made them early, enough to open up the kind of early separation many expected. We had this look in the huddle, everybody knew what we were going to do for the next three possessions. “We had this look in our eyes that we were going to get it done. “So, I thought we started the game well then fell in love with the three-point shot,” Mike Krzyzewski said.

A few of the kids are not up to par. “We’re hoping it’s not a bug that goes through the team. But Syracuse wasn’t the only team dealing with issues.

Even the nine-point margin does a disservice to just how tight this contest was down the stretch. “I thought it gave us a little bit of an edge, and then we switched back to the zone. Utilizing a triangle-and-two, a blend between man and zone that was intended to limit AJ Griffin and Mark Williams, the Orange gave themselves a shot late. Yet when it came down to crunch time, the Blue Devils delivered. Going into the locker room at the break, Williams did not have a single point. “So he played like a big-time player, and he is a big-time player. But at the last second, using a nifty wrap-around delivery, the captain found Roach on the left wing. Oftentimes, the first 38 minutes are forgotten in favor of a singular key moment down the stretch. He had a sensational performance, not a good one.” Prior to that triple, Roach had compiled 16 points and four crucial triples. I’m proud of my guys for especially executing down the stretch, Wendell [Moore] really led us,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said.
