The Blue Devils needed to something to take the taste out of their mouths from a defeat that should not have been. No one who watched Duke drop their first loss of the season to Kentucky walked away thinking Duke should have lost that game. It was a combination of legs, shooting and mental mistakes that cost Duke that game. And a game against Wofford was needed to exorcise those demons of defeat.
After Woffored scored the first 2 points of the game, the Blue Devils went on a 24-5 run building a 19 point lead by 10 minute mark of the first half.
