The (Blue) Devil’s In the Details: Duke shows it has more tools than just Tre Jones to shut down a star guard
It’s hard to find a lot to glean from a 30 point victory against a team that is clearly outmatched (Miami has been decimated by injuries and suspensions, leaving them with only seven scholarship players). The headlines from Duke’s 87-57 win over the Hurricanes on Saturday have largely revolved around Jack White breaking his shooting slump, RJ Barrett’s dominance, and Tre Jones’ stellar defense on Chris Lykes.
Jones’ defense on Lykes was indeed up to the high standard Duke fans have come to expect, and it was clear the Blue Devils were keying on Lykes.
