Episode 231 - Virginia Reaction and NC State Preview

The Devil's Den: A Duke Athletics Podcast

Josh, Dustin, and Raul react to Duke's decimation of Virginia in Cameron. They analyze the offensive and defensive game plan that allowed Duke to roll to a 73-48 victory. Topics discussed include

• Quick postups by Kyle Filipowski
• Big-to-big passing
• Virginia's decision to guard the 3pt line rather than double the post
• Mark Mitchell's tone-setting defense
• Tyrese Proctor's excellent play since returning from concussion protocol
• Duke's ability to get into the lane
• Valuable bench minutes from Sean Stewart and TJ Power
• Potential tournament rotations
• Electrifying dunks from Stewart and Filipowski

Then they preview NC State. They talk about how Raleigh has been a difficult place to play over the last 15 seasons, and whether the game being later in the season than usual will benefit Duke. They also debate how Duke should guard the two DJs -- Horn and Burns. Should they double the post?

Lastly, they check in on Duke's NET ranking and assess what it means for Duke's potential NCAA Tournament seeding.
