The
N&O has a nice article up about Matt Christensen, who has worked his way
into being a good substitute. Not that this would make sense to him, but he
should make his role model Scott Goetsch. Arriving at Duke before
Christensen was born, Goetsch was celebrated as a truly inspired backup center
to Mike Gminski. A foot problem limited his mobility, but he worked hard
and developed a tremendous role on the team. If Duke gets that kind of
play out of Christensen, they'll be in great shape. The
N&O has some notes up on Duke's defense, and how it affects the offense,
and those are definitely worth a read. This defense is capable of really
inspiring performances.
