Joe Giglio tweeted: Duke got off 19 uncontested 3s against State and made only 5.
I think it’s fair to say they missed open threes. So no, our defense did not improve.
Over the years Duke has relied more and more on the three. When they are cold they can be beat if you limit their points from turnovers. Sounds like that is what happened.
If the defense is still giving up a lot of open threes then don’t expect a run.
And yeah, I fear they will make any excuse to keep Gott even a flimsy one like “improvement”.
