C.L. Brown ESPN Staff Writer
The Blue Devils' 13 3-pointers just the ninth time this season they've reached double digits. They're 8-1 in those games with the loss coming at Syracuse. Duke advances to face winner of South Carolina-Marquette with 87-65 win over Troy.
C.L. Brown ESPN Staff Writer
Duke much better defensively in second half vs Troy. Something tells me this zone Mike Krzyzewski has sporadically used in postseason (most notably vs Louisville in ACC tournament) is going to help win a few more games.
C.L. Brown ESPN Staff Writer
Jayson Tatum has the first double-double by a Duke freshman in an NCAA tournament debut since Danny Ferry in 1986 vs Mississippi Valley State, per ESPN Stats and Info. Tatum currently has 16 points, 12 rebounds and has tied a career-high with four blocks.
