Well we finally got ourselves some Duke Basketball as the Blue Devils won a closer than expected contest against the Coppin State Eagles 81 to 71. The Eagles, coached by a former ACC POY and National Champion in Juan Dixon from the University of Maryland, boasted a bevy of big strong guards that seemed to give the Blue Devils fits.
The Eagles kept the game close for most of the first half, even trading buckets for a stretch but Duke, powered by Jalen Johnson’s first half double-double, blew past the Eagles to build a 17 point lead at the half.
