Listen Later

Josh, Dustin, and Raul are joined by John Watson of thedevilsden.com to preview Duke's Final Four matchup with Houston. Topics discussed include:


  • John's reflections on the season as a whole
  • Whether Coach Scheyer has gotten enough recognition nationally
  • How Duke can attack Houston's ball screen traps
  • Houston's strange shot profile
  • The value of running Houston off the 3pt line
  • How to keep Houston off the offensive glass
  • Handling Houston's physicality
  • The impact of how the game is called
  • Whether Duke can score some easy points in transition
  • How deep Duke will go into its bench
  • How a team that plays as slow as Houston can sometimes struggle to get separation
  • Kelvin Sampson's incredible success at Houston over the last half decade


    • They also talk briefly about the McDonald's All-American game before getting John's thoughts on where Duke stands with prized recruit Nate Ament. They make the case for why Ament should want to join a loaded Duke team, and why being "featured" is overrated when it comes to NBA draft stock.
