For SU to win....jonvi's take.....
1) The Boards. SU has to win the battle on the offensive boards. I concede the defensive glass, that's just SU and the zone. But SU can't let Duke win the boards at both ends. SU will need all the second chance shots they can get.
2) The Zone. The SU Zone has to make Duke work for every shot and make them use the entire shot clock. But that's the problem when facing Duke. Duke has already taken on stingy offenses and come out on Top. Both Pitt and Virginia's offenses are in the top 20.
3) The Cooney. Everyone is in love with Ennis and Fair. And now, midway through the season, Grant has become the SU poster child for the lottery. Yes, those three must show up and get theirs. But IMO, Cooney is the man who will decide the game. If he returns to the mid 40s to 50 percent from 3, Duke is toast. If TC continues at the 20% he has been shooting since ACC play began, SU will be run out of their own gym. Cooney must shoot above 33% from 3.
