    Cam having to do everything on his own, even as he leaves. It’s fitting.

    LaMelo Ball is a wild basketball player — ridiculous mid-air pass to Bridges on the corner cut for another spike. Small-ball 5 continues to hum for Charlotte.

    Duke - Weak the ball screen: VJ Edgecombe - Patrick Ngongba Ngongba starts below the level, Tyrese Proctor pushes VJ to his left. Ngongba initially sinks but switches to VJ later in the drive - moving his feet to cut the rim off on multiple drives

    Since 2000, ACC teams are 79-1 when gaining 500+ total yards, holding opponents under 250 total yards. The lone loss: NC State last week.

    This exchange from Zion Williamson: my word. Grab-and-go rebound, ditches Jerome with an in-and-out crossover at top speed, to the finish over a 7-footer with his off hand. Wow.
