The No. 3 Duke Blue Devils continue to roll after an 84-54 victory over the Hartford Hawks at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Wednesday.
Since losing to Gonzaga in the Maui Invitational on Nov. 21, Duke has responded with three straight wins by a combined 115 points. Head coach Mike Krzyzewski has his team off to an 8-1 start and firing on all cylinders.
Hartford turned out to be a more difficult opponent than initially anticipated. The Blue Devils were clinging to a five point lead early in the second half before finally pulling away.
R.J. Barrett led the way for Duke's offense with 27 points and a career-high 15 rebounds.
