Duke’s First Half Against TCU: Can They Break the Cycle and Shock Everyone?

Duke's First Half Against TCU: Can They Break the Cycle and Shock Everyone?

Duke didn’t have a cakewalk in their first round game. We’ve seen some 16 seeds beat 1 seeds over the years, but this would’ve been a historic collapse. You have the best team in the country – by seeding. You have one of the three best players in the nation, and you’re eliminated right away? Brutal. However, they did what they needed to do – lock in on defense, not panic, and find a way to get consistent buckets. They held Sienna to just 22 points in the second half, and they held them to just seven points in the final 10 minutes of the game. That certainly falls a bit on the Sienna coach because he didn’t make any substitutions. I get it in the first half – everything is clicking, you don’t want to throw it off. However, the second half, you have to get some fresh legs in there when the team is up, and you’re not getting the same shots to fall. They gifted Duke a comeback, and the Blue Devils took advantage of the opportunity.
