A couple of observations:

[Capt. Tuttle]

The Duke offensive plan is the blueprint against us. Fortunately few if any teams have that many shooters.

It took some great games by guys we never planned on guarding for Duke to keep it a game.

Duke can't guard us. I think we adjust the zone for next time, but not sure what they can do to stop us. That said, I don't expect to win @ Duke.

It still quite possible that we have 4 ACC loses this season: at UVA, Pitt, Duke and FSU.

This the first time all season that I have felt that we are a legitimate FF/NC team. Played the best game long offense since Andy and Wes.

Quinn Cook had a brutal shooting night. Take away his 1-8 night from behind the arc and Duke shot 14-28 (50%) with four different guys contributing 3 or more made 3s. There is no way that they'll repeat that in Cameron and I don't believe there is anyone else in the country that can do that.

I disagree. They will repeat that shooting at Cameron. That is who they are this year. Make a ton of threes, give up a bunch of points.

Duke also didn't use Parker at the foul line and I think that changes next time. They might not shoot as well from 3, but they will be hard to stop if he gets the ball there. He's quick and strong, and SU will have to choose between collapsing on him or staying with the shooters. Neither Jefferson or Plumlee was any threat there last night, which helped.

I don't think there is a better offensive team in the country, but Duke is very limited defensively. It will be tough to win in Cameron (and Pitt/UVA as well), but it will be fun to enjoy this ride.

Ya know, after this game, I DO expect to win at Pitt and UVA. Our guys are mentally tough tough tough. But I don't expect to win at Cameron.
