Scott Rich

He went from Kansas State to Virginia to Cal.

He's gone from the middle of the country to the East Coast to the West Coast.

He's going all across the country and studying abroad within the United States.

He is a dead-eye shooter.

He's nearly 46% from deep on the year on pretty high volume.

But he's not really a traditional point guard.

He's a very low turnover guy, but he's also not getting a lot of assists.

This is a team that is a lot of a one-on-one creation from Dede Ames and Justin Pippen.

But again, Dede Ames is a guy who has been increasing and improving.

He's played at everywhere he's been.

He's played at Kansas State.

He played at Virginia State.

Now Cal, he's getting the most minutes he's ever gotten.

He's improved his offensive numbers step by step as he's traversed the country.

So this is the guy who Duke is going to want to shut down.

And Duke has a chance to shut him down because, again, despite all these lofty metrics, he's a six-foot point guard.

And Duke has, as we've talked about over and over on this show, Duke has the size to make undersized guards possible.

you know, really, really, really, really, really struggle.

Chris Bell is the sort of third offensive option for Cal.

That's a name that ACC fans, Duke fans probably recognize.
