Much more confident in the D than the O at present. Aviles and Rice are becoming a really solid starting ssdm duo, Clary is back and looks fantastic even with the knee brace. Olexo has really impressed. Kennedy looks better every game on close D. Caccamo same thing, better every game and often shuts down his man entirely. Sean Lulley is no slouch and had nothing off the dodge after one goal early. He puts the ball on the ground better than anyone on this team.

O was doing a really nice job of getting open looks against Duke, but it is hard to get too excited as we tend to completely pick apart their D in recent years. ND will not get beat 1v1 as easily and will be more disciplined in sliding and preventing guys off ball from getting open. Really wish we could get Quinn back for this one but that seems unlikely. He is both a great outside shooter and great at getting open off ball. Cook is out, Buttermore still slower due to recovering, Birtwhistle and Tenaglia have been playing zero minutes most likely due to injury, so it is a tough task in front of them. I think transition/risk taking should be on the menu, and hope the D makes up for any failed attempts.
