For the second game in a row, the Blue Devils showed that indeed they are the same defensive team they were earlier in the season. After 5 straight games where the Blue Devils allowed their opponents to shoot 50% or better from the field for an entire game – something had to give. Jon Scheyer predicted that something would click during the West Coast kick part of the season, and he was indeed correct. After showing a renewed interest in defending against Cal, the Blue Devils put on a defensive masterclass at Stanford.
It all began with Dame Sarr sticking to the ACC’s best scorer, Ebuka Okorie, like glue.
