Lucas: Rapid Reactions - UNC vs. Duke
Posted Feb 8, 2018
It's true that Marvin Bagley had a double-double and was generally unstoppable when he got the ball near the rim. But very quietly, Theo Pinson and Garrison Brooks did a solid job of preventing him from getting the ball on multiple occasions. Duke took just two two-point shots over the final 11:30 of the game. That's largely because of the work of the Tar Heels defensively.
