Observations
Front-court depth was high on the list of concerns for Duke entering the season, and three games in, it remains a major concern. Marshall Plumlee played a career-high 36 minutes Tuesday against No. 2 Kentucky, and Jefferson tied his career high with 35 minutes. Chase Jeter, a reserve in the best position to help with this issue, racked up three fouls on just four minutes of play.
