No letdown tonight. Carried their confidence and momentum from the Clemson game right into this one. Duke turned it up a notch on defense halfway through the 1st and took control of the game scoring easily most of the night. Dunk and lob after dunk and lob… wide open 3s.
Duke kept the lead at or around 10 most of the 2nd half. Every time the Cards got it back down to 10, Duke got a good look inside or from 3. Cards could never string together enough consecutive stops or would give up an offensive rebound.
A few consecutive defensive stops and they could have put some serious game pressure on Duke.
