Let’s start with the obvious. This was by no means an even match. Duke has far better talent and resources while Winston-Salem State only had four players back and the CIAA canceled the season for everyone last year.
There was a lot to overcome, too much as it turned out.
So you should probably take the 106-38 win with a grain of salt. Duke won by 68 but that’s not what you should look at here.
Here’s what you should look at.
First, despite being seriously outmatched, Winston-Salem State played hard and showed heart. You never saw them give up or lose their tempers.
