A career night from a Duke basketball standout pushed the Blue Devils to a sloppy victory.
It certainly wasn’t a pretty victory for the Duke basketball program, but a win is a win as college basketball is played in the 2020-21 season.
Following Tuesday night’s loss to Michigan State, the Blue Devils welcomed Bellarmine into Cameron Indoor Stadium for not only its first game of the year, but its first game as a Division I program.
Duke was able to start fast thanks to the nerves of the Knights, but Bellarmine was able to slowly creep back, bringing the Blue Devil lead to as little as three late in the first half.
