Brain Rauf at Heat Check MBB wrote up about Duke's defense, which is worth a read. He highlighted the way Duke funneled action into the post where Mark Williams and Theo John were waiting. His assessment overall is that Duke appears to have an elite defense.

What made me post this here is the assessment of Ohio State and their backcourt struggles against Akron. Duke faces Ohio State in Columbus in the ACC/B1G Challenge this year. Ohio State's best players are in the frontcourt, which is where Duke is also strong. With Trevor Keels and Wendell Moore, Duke might have a clear advantage in the backcourt in this matchup.
