Survive and advance.
That’s all the Blue Devils did tonight as they managed to get by Syracuse without their best game.
Duke couldn’t have possibly shot worse from three-point range, 5-26 to be exact, and it didn’t even feel like they made that many.
Grayson Allen, in particular, struggled taking 15 shots from the floor, 14 of them being beyond the arc. He only made three of those fourteen shots, also sinking his only two-point attempt. Allen finished with 15 points, but as a distributor, he was sensational with 8 assists.
