No new poor statistic surprises me anymore and hasn’t for some time. It’s to be expected.

Duke was 282nd in the country last year in assist % and got a 2 seed. In 2014, San Diego St. was literally 2nd to last in A% and got a 4 seed. The Kentucky team we beat in the Finals in 2014 was 320th in the country and had a top 15 offense. Multiple teams get at large bids each year with similar profiles.

I've said this in other threads, but it's not a death knell and it doesn't mean you can't have a good offense playing the style we are.

We don't of course, but this is a stylistic component of our offense rather than a symptom of always bad offenses.

That statistic is beyond pitiful.

Have they played a lot more games? :oops:

Yeah, but we tried to run a backdoor against Auburn. Sure, it resulted in a turnover. But we tried.

Yeah, going through our stats has been a nightmare since 2014 save for Shonn Miller and Boat. This is no exception.

And about 2 minutes later Auburn ran one which resulted in a dunk.

Duke has players that can land a basketball in a peach basket.

That moment when OP and the majority of those Liking the post are on Ignore, and you have to admit you Like it too.

Gotta put it in the fridge AND plug the fridge in, or it'll remain a gooey mess.
