Duke had every opportunity to win this game against N.C. State but when crunch time came around one team stepped up and one team wilted under the pressure. Dennis Smith was everything that he was advertised to be and torched Duke for 32 points on the way to a 84-82 victory against the struggling Duke Blue Devils at Cameron.
The loss to N.C. State left Duke fans scratching their heads and wondering if this team has hit it’s rock bottom. They are wondering when or if there will be a moment or a player who steps up consistently.
