In what felt like a must win for the Blue Devils, Jon Scheyer’s team got their offense on track. Thanks to five Blue Devils scoring in double figures, No. 17 Duke defeated No. 25 Ohio State, 81-72, Wednesday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium in the final ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
Despite a less than stellar start that saw the Blue Devils turn the ball over 3 times to begin the game, the Blue Devils were able to force some turnovers of their own. Down by as much as 6 in the first half, Jacob Grandison gave Duke its first lead at the 15:08 mark with a put-back layup pushing the Blue Devils ahead, 11-10 and a three-point play by Filipowski leveled the score at 20 apiece with just under nine minutes to play until halftime.
