He was taking the shots that he should be taking.
I think that if you look at the raw numbers of shots and the raw numbers of threes, it's a little bit misleading.
Today, or in the game last night, the guys who we want taking the threes were taking them.
Isaiah took a bunch of them.
Nicomenia also took five.
A lot of good looks I think we normally think he's going to make.
Dame took four.
That's his job.
Even though he's not the greatest shooter in the world, we want him taking open threes.
He needs to be respected doing that.
And then Caleb took five, and, you know,
Caleb also didn't look 100% again, but he definitely looked better than he did against SMU.
Again, that's who we want taking the threes as part of this offense, to take the double teams away from Boozer down low, to have that high-low, to have that two-man game between our awesome bigs in the paint.
The shot selection was better.
It didn't bear itself out in the raw percentages, which I think can sometimes skew things.
But I would argue that the shot selection was better in the quality of the shots and who was taking them.
The plus-minus stats are very interesting from this game because this is a game that Duke won handily.
There are three guys that really stick out in the plus-minus, Isaiah, Nick, and Caden.
No one else was more than a plus-nine in a game that Duke ends up winning, again, pretty darn handily.
If you look at how that happened, there were two big runs.
