I kind of find this an interesting hire. Cornell had a great season this year. But it also was a senior heavy team. I wonder how effective his offense will be in the ACC.

That's a head scratcher.

I think that might be oversimplifying Duke's offense. It's actually much more complex than that. As much as I hate Duke, it really was impressive watching their half court sets last night. They had constant movement the whole night. The way they curled off of high screens and circled right into the lane was a thing of beauty. If you're receiving the ball anywhere in the lane with separation, good things usually happen.

I personally saw a little more of Wisky in Cornell's offense than Duke. But I didn't get a chance to watch them a whole lot so I could definitely be wrong.

Im not trying to bash dukes offense, obviously there is more to it. I think it is similar though with Cornell's shooter(cant remember his name)=sheyer/singler and Foote=Zoubek/Plumlees.
