It was really hard to know what expect from Duke with the way Duke dismantled Arizona State in their final exhibition. I think that game said a lot more about Arizona State than it did about Duke – but it did show that when Duke is kicking on all cylinders their opponent needs to be on the A game. Against Maine I expected a fight for the first 10 minutes of the game, the fight lasted a little longer. Duke was not especially crisp in their 96-62 victory and they probably didn’t shoot how they expected but it definitely gave Jon Scheyer some things to really get into his team about.
