Duke Basketball

I'm starting to really like this year's team! I've been thinking all along that they have been overrated on the ESPN poll, which has them at #4. This team simply does not have the talent previous Duke teams have had. But they have gelled as a team.

Basketball really consists of three games: defensive, offensive, and communication. This team has Coach K's communication game down. They have great spacing on the court and great ball movement. That was the difference in the Miami game -- Miami's guards did not pass the ball but tried to make the points themselves.

Last night's game also showed the heart this team has. Shavlik, especially, was intense.
