Episode 300 - Houston Preview (with John Watson)

Josh, Dustin, and Raul are joined by John Watson of thedevilsden.com to preview Duke's Final Four matchup with Houston. Topics discussed include:

• John's reflections on the season as a whole
• Whether Coach Scheyer has gotten enough recognition nationally
• How Duke can attack Houston's ball screen traps
• Houston's strange shot profile
• The value of running Houston off the 3pt line
• How to keep Houston off the offensive glass
• Handling Houston's physicality
• The impact of how the game is called
• Whether Duke can score some easy points in transition
• How deep Duke will go into its bench
• How a team that plays as slow as Houston can sometimes struggle to get separation
• Kelvin Sampson's incredible success at Houston over the last half decade

They also talk briefly about the McDonald's All-American game before getting John's thoughts on where Duke stands with prized recruit Nate Ament. They make the case for why Ament should want to join a loaded Duke team, and why being "featured" is overrated when it comes to NBA draft stock.
