Never judge a book by its cover. All that is gold does not glitter. Looks are deceiving. And the Duke basketball bench is no exception to these expressions.
The No. 2 Blue Devils (20-2; 8-1 ACC) won their sixth straight on Tuesday night — 80-55 at home over Boston College — despite their bench only contributing four points. As a result of this single stat, Twitter coaches diagnosed the backups’ recent lack of offense — a combined average of 4.9 points across the past six games — as a potential roadblock to future success.
Believe it or not, the Twitter coaches may be wrong.
