The Blue Devils want to turn up the pace and the players seem to be fully on board with that.
"We're just going to keep pushing it and pushing it and pushing it, just kind of keep ramming it down them," guard Austin Rivers said.
That should increase the number of possessions for Duke, which tends to have enough skilled players at the offensive end to turn that into more production. In their first two games since Christmas, Duke has launched 63 and 62 field-goal attempts for the two highest figures of the season in that category.
"That can be a good thing for our team," forward Mason Plumlee said. "That's the most fun way to play and that's how we want to play."
