Beat Duke

[BlueSince92]

What’s more, their assists tend to be dump-offs, whereas ours are very often the end of a series of three or four snap passes. That will matter because against a tougher opponent it’s harder to get dumpoffs whereas passing around repeatedly will deform most defenses about the same, especially if every nearly passer is a legitimate perimeter threat.

Not to toot my own horn, but this did indeed wind up being one of the biggest reasons we beat those floor slappers. As this New York Times article puts it:

“What eventually cost Duke was its predictability. In the second half, Duke had only four possessions that included at least three completed passes. On most trips, only one or two players touched the ball and everyone else stood around.”
