The Blue Devils were once again without Tre Jones as he is still recovering from his shoulder injury, but he was not needed in Duke’s thrashing of Pittsburgh on the road.
Duke cruised to a 79-64 victory as Mike Krzyzewski won his first game coaching against his former player and assistant coach Jeff Capel, in his first season with Pittsburgh.
With Jay-Z in attendance at the Petersen Events Center, Zion Williamson led the way for the Blue Devils making his first ten field goal attempts, and finishing with 25 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and a block.
