Big shout out to Caleb. When Duke went zone in the 2nd half, Furst got some timely offensive rebounds and put backs/FT's along with a sweet 15 ft baseline shot. He settled the team down and kept Duke from getting any closer than 7 pts and weather through a dry spell mid way through the 2nd half.
Also did a great job being a pressure relief valve in the 2nd half when Duke started pressing. AND he was also instrumental in containing their mobile 7 footer.
I think we really saw the rebounding potential of the team when Edey and Furst are out there together. Brutal for other teams to fight with them for Off/Def boards for an extended amount of time.
Also I can't forget Gillis. He hit big shot after big shot against Zaga and hit a big one tonight. But the size and flow of the game called for more minutes for Furst down the stretch.
