1) SO MANY OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS for Duke. Cannot give them so many second chance opportunities.

2) Rakeem Christmas has not gotten involved at all. Some of this is because Duke is doubling him every time he touches it, but it's also because we're just throwing it around the perimeter and having trouble getting it to him in any position to score.

3) We can't hit a shot to save our lives. Our poor offensive execution is causing us to take some not such great shots, and even when we ARE getting wide open jumpers, we just can't hit them. Conversely, Duke has gotten a ton of great bounces on a few finishes. They're hitting, we aren't. When they don't hit, well, see point #1.

4) Turnovers. Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. Yes, Duke is giving it away too, but when they aren't, their hitting shots or getting offensive boards and second chance opportunities. We're turning it over, and NOT hitting shots, and NOT finishing whatever second chance opportunities we're getting.

Frankly, we should probably be down more than 9 right now. That was a terrible half of basketball for us.
