Duke shows once again it can flip a switch -- and overcome its flaws

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- If there was ever a time for Duke to take an upset loss, Wednesday had all the ingredients.

It was Duke's fourth game in seven days, its first true road game of the season -- at a raucous Assembly Hall, in Archie Miller's first huge home game at Indiana.

The Blue Devils got five total points from their bench, shot 18 percent from 3-point range, Wendell Carter Jr. fouled out, and they looked worn down late in the second half.

And it still didn't matter.

Duke dominated the final five minutes like it did against Texas and Florida at the PK80 over the weekend, pulling away for a 91-81 win over Indiana.
