Maybe I’m just a Negative Nellie, but I thought this was an OK performance at best. We had trouble with shot selection, we had trouble hitting shots when we were open, we had issues with some of our defensive coverages, and we fouled way too much. Some of that last I attribute to the refs, who called 46 fouls (“only” 22 on Duke) in the game, and were still calling touch fouls with only a few minutes to play and the score north of a 40-point lead.
But whatever. The important bit is that, although we still have a lot of clean-up work to do, we are 1-0 on the season.
