Duke basketball keys to avoiding season sweep against Louisville

Duke basketball No. 4 Key to Victory – Get Bench Production

As the ACC Tournament progresses, Duke will need to get production from its bench in order to try and keep the legs fresh of its starters.

The Blue Devil bench was very good on Tuesday against Boston College with 32 points.

Duke had 10 points from its bench against Louisville in the first matchup and six points in the second meeting.

Louisville doesn’t have a very deep bench, either, and it only got shorter thanks to the injury to Malik Williams.

The Cardinals only played seven players in their regular-season finale against Virginia, but head coach Chris Mack’s team will have the advantage of not playing on Tuesday afternoon.

If Duke wants to emerge victoriously, its bench will have to outperform the bench of Louisville, which should not be that hard of a task to complete.
