Trouble in K'ville! Duke Goes Down To Unranked Temple

It looked bad, I mean real bad. Duke seemed more timid on defense and offense than Temple from the start in the Owls 78-73 win over the Dukie's. The Blue Devils looked three steps slower with the way they were getting beat off of the dribble and about four years younger with the careless turnovers. So what's the issue with the Devils? Well this wasn't an isolated issue but it was the same problems that they've run into numerous times this year. The consistent inability to defend against the drive, man to man, lack of on the floor leadership, and only one player who can create anything off of the dribble. Can a floor leader emerge mid season? Can they begin to defend the drive better at this point in the season? Are these things that can be corrected? Well they better hope so because league pay begins this weekend. Remember though people....if it can be changed "the world's greatest coach" can fix it!!!
