The Big Louisville Reaction Pod

2019-20, Ep. 17

15-3 (5-2)

The fourth straight single-game reaction pod is here after Duke's second straight loss, and considering I stated back in October how the season wouldn't *officially* begin until January 18th vs Louisville, this episode is extra packed with takeaways both from the game and overall.

*****

The Louisville game coverage I've read and heard was underwhelming to say the least, packed with soft narratives, and I do my best to make sure each DBC episode contains far and away the best Duke MBB analysis you'll get anywhere. I'd love to cover the team full-time, but the only way that happens is if I receive help spreading the word. It's a supply and demand business, and if better coverage isn't demanded and then consistently supported and promoted, nothing will change. Please rate AND leave reviews. If you've previously left a review, leave another. I pour my heart and soul (and infinite amounts of time) into the DBC pod. If you enjoy, help me out, and by doing so, you'll be helping all other Duke fans receive the best team coverage in the country. Thanks!

UPDATE

A couple of stats I gave on the episode were a bit off, so I decided to correct those as well as provide some other stats I found interesting from the second half of Louisville as well as specifically related to Vern.

*On/Off splits (stats) are not the end-all, be-all, just something to consider along with everything else. Context is important*

OEFF = Team Offensive Effenciency (the higher the better)

DEFF = Team Defensive Effenciency (the lower the better)

NETEFF = Team Net Efficiency i.e. difference between offensive and defensive efficiencies (the higher the better)
