A prolific outing put Matthew Hurt on some exclusive Duke basketball lists.
Prior to the Duke basketball team’s 80-73 home defeat at the hands of Louisville (13-5, 8-4 ACC) in overtime on Saturday evening, dropping the Blue Devils (11-9, 9-7 ACC) to the bottom of the NCAA Tournament bubble, only twice had a player under head coach Mike Krzyzewski scored 35 points or more in a losing effort.
Those two outings were the 35-point display from Zion Williamson in a January 2019 overtime home game versus Syracuse and the 41-point performance from JJ Redick at Georgetown in January 2006.
