Duke and Louisville Poised for Offensive Explosion—Can They Seize the Moment?

Duke and Louisville Poised for Offensive Explosion—Can They Seize the Moment?

Duke enters the game today as the sixth-ranked team in the nation and has a strong 13-1 record. They’ve already had two conference games and won both of them in some tight contests. This hasn’t been the best stretch of the season for Duke as they lost three games ago to Texas Tech, and since the return after Christmas break, they have only had the two ACC games. They hosted Georgia Tech and won by just six points. Against Florida State, they had to play on the road and only took that game by four points. Wins are wins, but I wouldn’t exactly put either team in the same category as Duke. Still, conference games are typically harder, and as is the case most years, all of these teams are new, young, and figuring out how to play in hostile areas. Duke is led by Cam Boozer, who has been as good as advertised. Boozer is averaging 23 points per game and pulling in close to 10 rebounds. He commands a lot of attention, which should lead to more option shots from the rest of the Duke roster, but they are shooting just 35.4% from three this season.
