During his weekly visit with The Insiders on 99.9 FM The Fan on Thursday, ESPN College Basketball Analyst Jay Bilas broke down his alma mater the Duke Blue Devils.
Bilas pointed out its not just one area that has been a problem in the teams struggles of late. He listed their keys success; better production from the point guard, better defense, and more production from their big men. Bilas also reiterated that Duke is a “very good team, better than last year”, but not a team that is Final Four good. Bilas did add this caveat, there are really only 3 to 4 good teams this year in College Basketball and the teams are not the same level of talent we had a year ago at the Final Four.
Bilas also weighed in on the #3 Tar Heels, who he thinks is the best team in the country when they play their best. He also thinks the teams much maligned defense is not that bad and points out they play at such a fast pace it leaves some easy opportunities for their opponents.
