And the reality is when Duke leads by double digits in the second half, they win like 95 plus percent of the time, 98 probably percent of the time, if not higher.

So stop worrying so much, people.

At least that's what I think John Shire said to the team.

Well, you know what's interesting?

The first thing I had relates to that.

And I titled it shot selection, but it was really, yeah, it was really about Clemson doing a good job of dictating to Duke what they were going to allow us to do.

Because in the first half, Donald, we took 18 three-pointers.

We only took 11 two-point field goals.

Duke doesn't want to be a team.

Look, I love the three-point shot, especially when it's fallen down.

But Duke doesn't want to be a team that takes 62% of our shots from three-point range, which is what we did in the first half.

We want to have better balance.

And like in the second half, we had 11 threes and 14 two-point field goals.

That's more of the balance that I think Duke wants to have in the game.

And, you know, look, I've talked about –

in recent games, Duke's three point field goal attempts have been way down.

And I was like, you know, what's going on there.

I'm glad that they got up a bit, but I'm not sure I want us quite, you know, we were up, you know, we were at 29.

We're very close to 30, maybe a little tiny bit higher, especially in a low possession game than the ideal number from Duke.

And part of that ended up affecting our points in the paint.
