When an offense shoots as poorly as the Duke Blue Devils did Friday in Omaha, Nebraska, the team usually cannot outlast the Syracuse Orange. But when an offense has Marvin Bagley III and Wendell Carter, trends can be broken.
For the second time in the 2017-18 season, the Duke Blue Devils overcame a terrible three-point shooting night to dispatch their conference foe. Bagley and Carter combined for 36 points and 19 rebounds, propelling Duke to a 69-65 victory and an Elite Eight bid.
The Blue Devils needed every bit of the duo's impact.
