Jon Scheyer’s Blue Devils were back in action, the first since their narrow defeat at the hands of the number 1 Jayhawks. The Blue Devils returned from Vegas against a hawk of a different color, this time the Seattle Redhawks.
The Blue Devils spent the first half seemingly shaking off a Thanksgiving funk, which saw their shooting numbers dip into the abysmal, just 44% from the floor and 30% from 3. Duke, still able to put together a 37-point half, led the Redhawks by 12 at the half. The shooting numbers did not improve for the Blue Devils in the second half, but the first 8 minutes of the second half saw the home team go on a 13-0 run to push the lead to 25 points, effectively ending the content.
