In a down year for the ACC there are many more opportunities for the Blue Devils to flounder than to acquire any meaningful wins. Jon Scheyer’s team has to be careful to take each team, each possession seriously and with urgency as they are now everyone else’s opportunity. Records rarely matter in conference play, what does matter is having night in and night out consistency.
Miami entered Cameron Indoor with an awful record, an interim head coach but still, they are a team with immense talent that at some point is going to sting someone. Matthew Cleveland and Lynn Kidd are no strangers to what it takes in ACC play, those two players in particular gave me some pause about this game.
