Playing Small.
Duke's D is a man to man D with a strategy of big guys helping out frequently on guard penetrating. It has always been this way.
Duke's interior defenders this year however do not want to be interior defenders. For most of the second half, it was Jabari playing Center and Hood playing PF, and neither guy seems to understand their role inside. Hood didn't box out at all - one guy counted 10 points on offensive boards by Hood's man and there was one comical board where Hood had position jumped and completely whiffed on the ball going to the guy behind him. And Jabari seems deathly afraid to help out - and when he does, he's often incredibly slow to do so.
This cannot happen - the new rules make it FAR HARDER for guards to keep in front of penetrating guards...they're going to get in far more easily. To handle this, guys need to step up and force opponents to make an extra pass - but we're not even doing that.
