#785 - A Tale of Two Halves As Duke Beats Louisville
from Duke Basketball Roundup · host Duke Basketball Roundup
The win was so stunning, we needed to collect our breath! After the vibes check episode, Donald and Scott Rich return to give a full recap of the Louisville game on Episode 785, with discussion on each of the halves and what made them what they were. The second half was the good, featuring the stellar play of Caleb Foster, Cam Boozer, and Isaiah Evans on offense and Dame Sarr and Maliq Brown on defense. It wasn’t a quick blitz to storm back and take the lead. It required patience, tenacity, and tough play to eventually overcome a 12-point deficit and end up winning by 11. We then get into the bad that was the first half and we discuss what Duke did wrong to allow Louisville to storm out to the big lead. We also look at a couple of individual performances that weren’t great on the night. We close with our play of the game, which was a play that hopefully helps Duke turn the corner as we head toward the weekend, leaving the inefficient play in the past. Make sure you’re following us!
