The Blue Devils didn’t play their best game against Notre Dame Wednesday night, but they did play a better game in a lot of ways. The effort on both ends of the floor for the Blue Devils was much improved from what they displayed against North Carolina – still not what it needs to be to compete with the upper echelons of the ACC… but better. The now 17-5 Blue Devils won at home against the Irish 71-53 in a game that left a lot to be desired.
The Blue Devils did bring a higher level of energy to the game, getting after rebounds and loose balls but with that, at least in the first half, came a lot of turnovers.
