Ive had time to think about the game today and initially I didn't think any of the loss was K's fault at all. Kennard and Tatum unfortunately shot the ball horrible, 10-36 between the 2 of them, and if you add Jones's 2-9, you have 3 starters that went 12-45. Want win with those stats for sure, and add the woeful shooting against Syracuse, and you see why Duke has dropped their last 2. A problem the last 2 games, and really all year, is lack of being able to slow down the other teams point guard. Gillan for Syracuse was amazing, then today Brown scored 25 of their 55, and did it with only 1 3 pointer.
In 2015, K put the team in zone to help them play better d, and to me that was a turning point. To question one of the greatest coaches ever, why not now?
I know our shooting has been very bad last 2 games but we're getting creamed by the other team's guard. Yes we need Allen, but in my opinion, this team needs some zone. It helped in 15, could it help now? A point guard today scored 22 of his 25 inside the 3 point line, and like I said his team only scored 55.
