Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to see much if any of the UNC and NC State games, so this is more of a first impression of Duke's performance vs. GSU.
Overall, I feel pretty disappointed after that game last night. I was expecting a high flying offense and stingy defense. The defense wasn't bad, but I felt like it could have been a bit more smothering. On the offensive side I saw a lot of what we've seen the past few years...a lot of perimeter shooting. However there was a lot more passing and patience, though that could have been to the zone GSU was playing. They threw a bunch of different defenses at Duke, which contributed to the slow play.
I think Duke has a ton of potential to be a great team. They're going to have to bring it against Kentucky, althought their performance vs. Maryland was also sub-par.
I feel like perhaps Coach K didn't want to show a lot of his offense so he could 'surprise' Kentucky and Calipari with some different looks. Maybe that's it.
Those of you who watched the other two triangle teams play...what were your first impressions?

Didn't get to watch any games this weekend. I worked late on Friday and did a fundraiser with my Lions Club on Saturday. All I can say is that the triangle should have 3 really good teams this year.
