Duke basketball takeaways against Cal State Fullerton:

The Defense Looks Improved

Duke’s defense in the ACC Tournament was not good, to be blunt.

In the week leading up to the NCAA Tournament, it was clear that the Blue Devils worked hard on that side of the court. And it showed against Cal State Fullerton.

Mike Krzyzewski and Wendell Moore said the Duke defense was “revamped,” and it’s hard not to believe them after the Round of 64.

Now, the opponents get better while the games become more important.

Can Duke keep up its defensive intensity for five more games?
