One thing that John Shire has wanted to do, he's mentioned it time and time again, is he wants this team to run their offense a little bit quicker.

If they have opportunities to get on transition, to go ahead and do it.

Clemson, this is going to be a fascinating matchup because I think this is a game where John Shire is going to want them to go a little bit faster.

To, hey, go down the floor because if you have a defense like Clemson's, you don't want it to be set.

If you're able to get out in front of them, it's hard for them to get set.

If you're in transition and you're able to work through the holes in that defense before Clemson can get their five guys back behind the basketball, you have a lot of opportunities to score points.

I'm going to see if Duke early on wants to try and push the tempo a little bit.

Not too much, but push the tempo a little bit so that Clemson is left to scramble.

When they scramble on defense, that's when it's easier to get good shots off.

The ball movement part can come into play.

It makes them have to play catch up.

And as we know, when you try to spend extra energy to try and catch up in a game, particularly in a game where you don't like to, you know, move the tempo, if the tempo is a little bit faster and in Duke's favor, I think that's a huge advantage.

You know, the interesting thing about Caleb Wilson's injury came in the loss on the road to Miami the other night, and he was hurt in the first half.

He went to the locker room and received x-rays in the locker room.

They then came back and said, oh, he's fine.

Like, there's no break.

So what?

they threw him back in the game.

He wasn't, he was largely ineffective.
