With the DWI arrest of Duke walk-on Michael Savarino and the controversy surrounding it, it was hard to imagine the Blue Devils not being a bit distracted. It didn’t really show on the court and it was business as usual for Duke. The Blue Devils started out of the gates slowly against Gardner-Webb hitting their first bucket at the 18:36 mark but not getting their second until the 15:27 mark of the first half. Gardner-Webb took and early lead of 13-12 before the Blue Devils off of the strength of freshmen Trevor Keels’ 16 points and 4-5 from 3 went on a 35 to 16 run to end the half.
