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.

I talked about the inflection points that John Shire mentioned in this game.

There were two inflection points that Duke really did a great job on.

Duke's down 30-24 with 335 to go in the first half.

We end the first half up seven points, 37-30.

That three-minute stretch we go from we're down six, we go to up seven.

Isaiah is a big factor in that run.

He has eight points during that stretch.

But Nick Kamenia is on the court for a vast majority of that run.

Nick Kamenia subs into the game when Duke's down four.

He leaves the game at halftime with Duke up seven.

The other big run, the 12-1 run that broke things open with 10 minutes to go in the second half.

Isaiah and Nick were both on the floor during that stretch.

Nick Kamenia, who only played 24 minutes, who didn't start this game, was on the court for the two biggest runs in this game.

One that gave Duke the lead going into half, the other that gave Duke the insurmountable double-digit lead that we ended up carrying to the finish line.

That's extremely encouraging.
