Davidson is about as good as Florida State and would finish anywhere from 5th-9th in the ACC. Like last year's Duke team, they don't rely on just one designated point guard to run the offense - their guards are there to get the ball to Brooks and Cohen. With only one guy in their rotation taller than 6-7, Mason should have a great game - Cohen should be playing soft defense to stay on the court. On paper, this should be a good matchup for Duke defensively, since Duke doesn't like to give up 3s or FTs (top 50 in both 3ptA and FTA allowed per FGA allowed) and Davidson's greatest strengths are 3pt shooting and FT shooting.
