Freshmen excellence has defined this college basketball season. Unlike some of the teams bolstered by young talent, nobody at Duke was a routine starter on a college team last year. As a result of Scheyer’s coaching, a young Duke team overachieved in the non-conference, emerging unscathed from the Arkansas-Florida-Michigan State stretch of three top-25 opponents. But that’s college basketball; games like that happen. Those are all natural forces in the college basketball cosmic order, especially early in the season.
