One Positive of the UVA loss

That low scoring game increased our Defensive Kenpom ranking. We have cracked top 60!

we actually played good defense. they shot 38% I believe.

Duke will grow from this type of loss, I firmly believe that. This will be a learning lesson while we go through growing pains. They had their chances to win this one.

Aren’t those ratings based on points per possession, not total points?

Correct. There is a strong correlation with those two data points, generally. I was keeping it simple.

Too many empty possessions. turnovers and missed one-and-ones. if we make the first half of those 3 one and ones we win the game

I think this game will help us also. UVA showed us how hard you have to play to win.
