Duke and Auburn. Not much else needs to be said. Two high-level teams gave College Basketball one of the best games of this early season. Duke looked shaky early as the Tigers punched first and punched hard to the tune of a 13-2 run to begin the game. Spurred on by hot shooting Miles Kelly’s 8 early points, the Blue Devils looked like toast. But the Blue Devils punched back with a 10-3 run of their own to pull within a bucket at the 9:45 mark of the first half. Duke’s defense tightened, and Auburn, for the first time this season, looked human.
