Episode 232 - UNC Preview (with Kelly Rowe)

Josh, Dustin, and Raul are joined by friend of the pod Kelly Rowe. They start by talking about the recent commitment to Duke of Khaman Maluach, a 7'2" center out of Africa in the class of 2024. They discuss what he'll bring to an already loaded team next season.

Then they recap Duke's 79-64 road win over NC State. Topics include:

Duke's composure and resilience after NC State started the game 9-0

The contributions of the bench, and especially the recent play of Sean Stewart

Offensive rebounding

The steady guard play

Duke's strategy of single coverage on DJ Burns

The pivotal 10-1 run in the second half that allowed Duke to pull away for good

Next they turn their attention to the main event, Duke's matchup with UNC on Saturday. They talk about various scenarios where Duke could win the ACC regular season title with a win. Then they debate keys to a Duke victory. Will Duke be able to keep UNC's role players in check? Can they limit points off of turnovers and compete on the glass? Then they each give their predictions for the outcome of the game. Lastly, they reminisce about their favorite Senior Night memories before rambling for another 10 minutes about various topics (Coach Scheyer's first two seasons, Caleb Foster's injury, Justin Robinson's practice battles with Javin DeLaurier, etc, etc.)
