Duke's offense is rated 11th. Tempo is 68th, and I'm sure that will pick up with Nolan back. Defense is not so impressive, at 48th.
Free throw shooting is great, at 77.6% (ranked 24th). Three point shooting is also great, at 45.7%, (ranked 20th). Turnover percentage is also great, ranked 18th.
Unusually, Duke hasn't gotten to the line much, with FTA/FGA at 32.9, ranked 236th. Seems like a bad sign, but at least maybe we won't hear (as much) about Duke getting all the calls. Still, this statistic worries me.
Here are my favorite non-Duke statistics: Kerlina's turnover percentage is 25.6, ranked 292 and their offensive steal percentage is 14.9, ranked 327. Oh, and they don't try many 3s, 3PA/FGA: 24.6 (ranked 289). Statistical confirmation that Kerlina's backcourt is struggling.
