Duke Holds Unexpected Edge: What This Could Mean for Their Historic Rivalry
Duke, as usual, is coming into this game as one of the best teams in the nation. I think what is most unique to me about their program is that the handoff from Coach K to Coach Jon Scheyer is that there really hasn’t been a dip in recruiting or talent coming to play at Duke. You would think there could be some sort of issue or that players might not care about Duke as much now that they can go to other places and make the same level (or close to the same) as they could with the Blue Devils. Duke continues to get the top-level talent and continues to revamp their roster each year in order to stay atop the college basketball rankings. It may not have resulted in a championship yet for Scheyer, but having a chip and a chair is all you need every year. This year’s team is built around Cam Boozer who leads the team in four of the five main statistical categories. This is about the same level of production as superstar Cooper Flagg last year. Boozer is averaging 23.3 points and almost 10 rebounds per game. He also leads the team with four assists per game.Â
