St. John’s played well in the first half but foul trouble, great defense by Tre Jones and his Duke teammates and foul trouble and a powerful performance by Zion Williamson spelled doom for the Johnnies.
Jones completely controlled Shamorie Pond in the first half and limited him to 11 for the game. Marques Bolden likely had his best game at Duke and is doing things we’ve never seen him do before. RJ Barrett had an outstanding game all around while Cam Reddish opened the game with two threes and played with immense confidence. And then there was Zion Williamson.
