Finally Duke fans got to see their beloved Blue Devils in live action against someone other than a teammate. Duke won their exhibition against the Panthers of Virginia Union who are the reigning 2018 CIAA Tournament Champions 106-64. For those expecting a complete cakewalk doesn’t understand how Coach Mike Krzyzewski schedules in the preseason. Everything for a reason, everything for a purpose. Virginia Union, primarily a zone team, was a great test in the early going for a Blue Devil squad with 3-point shooting question marks. Duke figures to see a good amount of zone as teams look to exploit this perceived weakness.
