Turnovers kept Duke in the game

In a game where the Blue Devils were out-shot by almost nine percent, turnovers helped keep Duke in the game. Duke forced 27 Kansas turnovers–four more than the Jayhawks’ number of made field goals. Duke didn’t shoot the ball particularly well, but the fierce defense was enough to get the win. However, the fact that the Blue Devils forced that many turnovers and won by just two is a bit concerning. Regardless, Tuesday marked the school’s first win when scoring 68 points or less since January 26th against Georgia Tech. Duke will have to be better offensively moving forward.
