The good: This was supposed to be a down year for Duke. Nice down year. Obviously Redick is the man. 15-4 vs Top 100. 9-2 vs tourney teams. 5-0 at neutral sites. +14.0 scoring average. Redick on the line shooting free throws at the end of the game.

The bad: Obviously it is their depth. You have to think their depth will start to hurt this team in the second week of the tournament. Can Duke overcome this again or will it finally take its toll? Another item that worries me is Redick hogging the ball. Obviously you want the ball in his hand. I just wish when it left his hand it would end up leaving as a pass instead of some of those ridiculous shots he puts up at times (2.8 assists per game). They have to stay out of foul trouble. You can point to the Maryland game for that, but that was a little crazy as far as the refs went. There are a lot of other examples where fouls almost killed them or did doom them to a loss. If they are in foul trouble their final four dreams will be in real trouble.
