Being a bit slow, it took us awhile to realize that the Citadel Bulldogs were on the schedule for a reason: the offensive pressure of that system is a reasonable approximation of what Gonzaga Bulldogs do.
The Bulldog stretch of Duke’s schedule is half over. Duke played Gardner-Webb and The Citadel already and get Gonzaga Friday and South Carolina State on December 14th. We’re not sure we’ve ever seen that many Bulldogs in one season, let alone a few weeks.
But the truth is that the only team likely to beat Duke takes the court Friday and Gonzaga is very good indeed.
