All that coming at you in just one moment.
We're back from the break, Donald.
We're going to go through a few things that we want Duke to improve upon a little bit.
It has to begin with a shout-out to Onyeka Oyensu.
on the interior his ability to protect the rim was incredible you know he was getting blocks at tough angles plays where he had to cover a lot of ground it was stunning much completely befuddled Cameron for long long stretches of this game uh someone sent me a text and said that uh may have single-handedly knocked Cam back a spot or two at the NBA draft I don't
I don't know about that, but Cam hit just two out of 12 two-point field goals because Onyensu was the guy who was making life miserable for him.
Yeah, Duke shot just 17 of 40 on two-point field goals, just 45% because Onyensu had โ
By the way, think about how high our field goal percentage would have been without those blocks.
I bet we would have hit 10 of those shots, at least 10 out of those 12 shots.
So rather than going 17 out of 40, if Duke had been like 27 out of 40, if we'd hit like 65% as opposed to 45%,
which was entirely on the cards if Virginia hadn't done what they did.
I mean, it would have been the typical 20-plus point ACC blowout we usually see from Duke.
So, you know, I'm not saying it's a bad thing to work on.
Maybe if there is a truly elite, ridiculously great shot blocker, figure out some other way of attacking him, huh?
You know, I want to go back really quick to Onyensu and talk about, you know, how Duke would have attacked him in a different way if we'd had Big Pat.
I think one of the stories of both this game and the previous game was Malik Brown really, really struggling on offense.
