Duke can exploit Tennessee's rebounding, especially on offense, a key emphasis for Scheyer. Also, Tennessee's reliance on one-on-one plays outside of set plays could be a weakness against Duke's defense. #CollegeBasketball #NCAADevelopment

What else stands out?

Preseason No. 1 Florida gets tripped up by Baylor in an exhibition. All five Gators' starters played 33+ minutes, but the offense was brutal for long stretches. 4-28 from downtown.
Baylor PG Kayden Mingo (31 points, eight rebounds, four dimes) has taken a major sophomore leap.
Remember Dereck Lively's 8 blocks against UNC in Coach Scheyer's first Duke-UNC game? Despite scoring only 4 points, his defensive dominance, including key putbacks, secured a crucial win. #DerekLively #DukeBasketball #UNCBasketball #NBADraft #CollegeBasketball

BREAKING: Ohio governor Mike DeWine has signed an executive order allowing all Class of 2022 athletes in the state of Ohio to compete in the 2026-27 season, even if they've exhausted their eligibility, and even if the current NCAA rules don't allow them to be
Sebastian Wilkins entered the game and immediately made his presence known! 30 seconds later? An assist and a steal. This dude is out here doing the little things that connect the game for Duke. 🤯 What do you think of his impact? #DukeBasketball #NCAAMensBasketball
Witnessing a 7'2" player dribbling in a pick and roll is simply unreal. His skill level at this early stage is astonishing. #Basketball #Skill

One of the best matchups for Wemby in the NBA
Khaman Maluach’s first game as a starter this “season” ☀️
▫️10pts | 15reb | 3ast | 1steal | 1block | (44/50/100) splits
START MALUACH ALL SEASON
Alijah Arenas looks the part of an NBA wing scorer. Great touch around the rim and comfortable creating his own shot.
The concern is shot selection. He settled for a lot of tough long 2s and forced shots early in the clock. Fascinated to see how he looks fully healthy.
Dame Sarr's game has transformed! From struggling at 53% last year to hitting 9/10 free throws this game, his improvement is huge. Aggressive drives, better ball-handling, and lockdown defense show a massive leap from his freshman to sophomore year. #Basketball #PlayerDevelopment

Duke basketball's Cameron Williams opened after dealing with a virus that cost him nearly 14 pounds. The freshman is now working to get his weight back up and get back in the full swing of things with the Blue Devils:

This will go unnoticed but at the 10:05 mark Pat, Sarr and Wilkins handled switching seamlessly. Allowed no advatage for Belmont. Wilkins understands the little things.

That Dame Sarr fast break and-1 with the shoulder bump shows the major improvement from last year. Despite the missed FT
Sebastian Wilkins first sub off the bench. An assist and steal in his first 30 seconds. Continues to earn minutes.
I expect the starting lineup to be Cayden, Blackwell, Sarr, JBB and Pat. Curious how many minutes for Rip, Cam Williams, Howard and Wilkins.
