We've had the open shots but just missed terribly, many short of the rim (Curry, Kelly, Dawkins) and it's hard to understand why. I thought Duke may be vulnerable in this game but not due to a lack of confidence. Give Williams credit he has his team focused and ready to play. I thought if Duke could put some game pressure on them early, the spectre of Rivers' shot would rise up from the depths of their psyche but Duke's ragged shooting from the start has made it easy for the tools.
This.
Also, when Marshall can shoot but Curry and Dawkins can't, the universe is wildly out of whack.
It seems they make every ridiculous shot they toss up there, and I've never seen Duke miss so many shots, many of them inside of 6 feet! I'm hoping for a respectable loss at this point. I don't think you can spot the Tar Heels 22 points and expect to beat them.
