Something has happened in almost every season that wound up helping Duke become a better team. Bobby Hurley's foot in 92, Boozer going down for a while in 01 with his foot, K slowing the offense down in 10 and Zoubek after the Maryland game saying he wasn't ready for his senior season to end.
Nothing though as close as the turmoil within the program in 15. Sulaimon causing a fight in the locker room after the ND regular season loss. He gets kicked off the team. No one gave Duke a chance, the team just lost a solid player. But they banded together, coming up with "8 is enough."
All of those teams players knew their roles. For this team to accomplish what those 5 teams did, I think they must do the same. I say get a model of the 10 team in terms of offense, and have the big 3 of Allen, Bagley and Carter getting the most shots. Can't have everyone wanting to shine. Bagley, in my opinion, for as good as he is, will help the team more if he looks to pass more than he has. I'm sorry, but up to now the only one I have seen of the starters that is willing to do whatever it takes to win is Allen. Will the other guys still smile if they only took 4-5 shots but we win?
