Syracuse Basketball: Top 5 things to know vs Duke in ACC Tournament

2. We’ve now seen Duke play a handful of games without Zion Williamson, how different is Duke without him? Who has stepped up to the plate in his absence?

"When you take the National Player of the Year off a team, clearly there is a difference. In Zion’s absence R.J. Barrett reminded the country that he is the second best player in America and that should not be taken lightly. Alex O’Connell also stepped up in a big way for the Blue Devils in Zion’s absence, improving his 3-point shooting, something Duke desperately needed and something Duke desperately needs to defeat Syracuse."
