There was no question, coming into Tuesday night, the Blue Devils wouldn’t be at their best. Having had one day of practice, the prevailing sentiment was that the game against the Yellow Jackets would be a sloppy affair. That sentiment became reality with the Blue Devils struggling on offense but still able to get a win at home against Josh Pastner’s Yellow Jackets 69-57.
The first half saw a combined point total of only 58 points and neither team shot over 31%. The Blue Devils were able to build a working margin in that first period of 35-23.
