The offense was spotty Thursday night, but Duke can always count on its defense this season.
The No. 15 Blue Devils shut down Clemson, the ACC’s last-place team, by holding the Tigers to 27.7 percent shooting in a 65-37 Duke women’s basketball win at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
While returning to the nation’s top 15 teams this season, Duke (19-4, 7-3 ACC) has shown consistency on the defensive end. Clemson became the seventh consecutive team that has failed to shoot 40 percent or better against the Blue Devils. Duke has only allowed three teams to shoot 40 percent this season.
