The Blue Devils (4-0) will then travel to Portland for the remainder of the tournament, which begins on Thanksgiving Day against Portland State.

On Monday night, Duke will aim to win its fifth successive game of the season and ESPN’s Basketball Power Index is giving the home side an 88.5 percent chance to extend the run.

A win against Furman (2-1) would see Mike Krzyzewski side extending its nation-best active win streak to 136 consecutive non-conference home games.

The Blue Devils picked up a 78-61 win over Southern on Friday night, but although coach Krzyzewski was happy to have gotten the victory, he seemed less than thrilled with the performance and would have certainly addressed it during practice over the past couple of days.

Freshmen Marvin Bagley III, Wendell Carter, Jr. and Trevon Duval, along with senior Grayson Allen are among the leading contributors this season for Duke, which is scoring 90.5 points per game and allowing 69.8 at the other end.

Furman started its season with consecutive wins over Bob Jones and Elon, but fell to Butler, 82-65 on Saturday.

Devin Sibley, the reigning Southern Conference Player of the Year, is scoring 19.0 points per game and is expected to be the main threat to the Blue Devils.

The last time Duke and the Paladins met was in November 2014 when the former ran away with a comfortable 93-54 victory.

Carter Jr., Bagley III Guide No. 1 Duke Past Southern 78-61

by Leave a Comment

DURHAM, N.C., Sporting Alert — Wendell Carter Jr. and Marvin Bagley III both had double-doubles and No. 1 Duke beat Southern 78-61 on Friday night.

Carter Jr. had 20 points and 11 rebounds and Marvin Bagley III added 19 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out late for the Blue Devils (4-0), who have now won a nation-best 134 consecutive non-conference home games.

Grayson Allen, who scored a career-high 37 points in the victory over No. 2 Michigan State on Tuesday night, was held to just 10 points on Friday night.

Trevon Duval also had 10 points for Duke, which outrebounded Southern 51-34, but turned the ball over a season-high 15 times, shot just 4 of 20 from 3-point range and looked sluggish at times, especially during the first half.

“We just didn’t come ready to play,” Carter said. “I can’t really speak for everybody, I don’t know if everybody was energized or not or if people were hurt or not.

“Just as a team, we didn’t play as a unit. We starters had an opportunity just to be selfish, and that’s not the way to go. We’ve got to take every game seriously, and we did not do that tonight.”

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said: “There was something missing tonight.

“They thought it would be a lot easier than it was, and that’s on us, too, to make sure. We’re all responsible for it. The other thing is, we won. We won. So that’s a good thing.”

Jamar Sandifer had 14 points and Torrey Mayo ended with 11 to lead the Jaguars (0-4), who had no other players scoring in double-figures and lost for the fourth successive time.

“We talked about just trying to get better each and every game, and tonight we fought as a unit and tried to instill in those guys that if we continue to do that, by the time we get to league play … we can compete” for the Southwestern Athletic Conference title, Southern interim head coach Morris Scott said.

The Blue Devils, who led 42-32 at halftime, never led by less than 10 points in the second half.

The Blue Devils (3-0) cleared their first major hurdle of the season in Chicago on Tuesday night when they picked up a thrilling 88-81 win over No. 2 Michigan State in the Champions Classic.

Mike Krzyzewski’s side will now feature in a couple home games before heading on the road to play in the Phil Knight Invitational tournament next week.

In the win over the Spartans at the top of the week, senior guard Grayson Allen scored a career-best 37 points to lead the way for Duke, which played without talented freshman Marvin Bagley III, who sidelined for much of the game.

Bagley III left the game with an eye problem with 10:09 left in the first half and didn’t return.

Duke hopes that he will be able to feature against Southern (0-3).

“His eye was starting to shut,” Krzyzewski told reporters after the game. “At first he had a hard time seeing out of the eye. It’s scratched. I think he’ll be fine.”

Meanwhile, the winless Jaguars will be hoping to snap a three-game skid.

It will be difficult going up against the Blue Devils, who have won 134 consecutive non-conference home games, which is the nation’s longest active streak.

Watch No. 1 Duke v No. 2 Michigan State: State Farms Champions Classic

by Leave a Comment

CHICAGO, Sporting Alert – No. 1 Duke and No. 2 Michigan State will meet in the State Farms Champions Classic on Tuesday night and you can stream the action from Chicago live.

Tip-off time for this encounter inside the United Center is set for 7 p.m. ET and ESPN will provide the live national broadcast, while WatchESPN will carry the online and platform stream.

Duke (2-0) opened its season with comfortable wins over Elon and Utah Valley last week, but the Blue Devils are expected to be fully tested tonight against a Michigan State side that many considered to be the best team in the country.

“That’s what we’re all here for,” freshman forward Marvin Bagley III said. “We want to play under the bright lights.

“We’ve just got to make sure we’re ready and make sure we’re locked in and ready to go.”

Bagley III has posted a double-double in each of his first two collegiate games this season.

The Spartans (1-0) easily put away North Florida 98-66 in their solitary Week 1 fixture and swingman Miles Bridges and Co. are well-motivated and excited about this big-time matchup.

“I want to dive right in,” Bridges said. “We have been practicing all summer and fall.

“We want to show everyone what we’re capable of. Duke is a great team, and it’s going to be a great game.”

Duke is the top-ranked team in the country after rolling out the nation’s No. 1 recruiting freshman class.

However, ESPN’s Basketball Power Index is giving Michigan State a slight edge to win on Tuesday night by under 2 points.

“I’m sure players are excited about it and I wouldn’t want it any other way,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said.

“It’s not just another game. I don’t think it’s just another game for them either.

“It’s one of the greatest nights of college basketball with those four teams playing.”

ESPN’s BPI is giving the Spartans a 52.1 percent to win with the Blue Devils at 47.9 percent.

With four starting freshmen, Duke, which shot the ball well in the two openers, will need to need to grow up quickly.

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski, who collected his 1,000th victory with the Blue Devils on Saturday night, is curious to see how his team will perform.

“That will be a big-time game for us,” said Krzyzewski. “Not let the moment defeat them. Let the moment excite them.

“… I want them to enjoy the moment, be immersed in the moment. It’s a matter of letting them play.”

In the night’s other State Farms Champions Classic matchup on Tuesday, No. 4 Kansas and No. 7 Kentucky will tip-off at 9:30 p.m. ET.

ESPN and WatchESPN will have the live television and streaming coverage.

Bagley III Stars, Coach Krzyzewski Earns 1,000th Win At Duke

by Leave a Comment

DURHAM, N.C., Sporting Alert — Freshman Marvin Bagley III had a double-double with 24 points and 10 rebounds as No. 1 Duke beat Utah Valley 99-69 and coach Mike Krzyzewski became the first men’s Division I coach to win 1,000 games at one school.

Bagley III, who shot 11 of 17 from the floor, scored 14 of his points in a very busy first half where the Blue Devils (2-0), who led 48-33 at halftime after a slow start.

“Every game is going to be a different game,” Bagley III said. “We’ve got to play hard. We started off a little slow today and it was a close game, but eventually we pulled off in the end and we started playing like we normally would play. We got it done tonight.”

Senior guard Grayson Allen picked up the pace from a slow start to added 18 points, while three freshmen contributed significantly in the win.

Gary Trent Jr. finished with 17 points, Trevon Duval ended with 15 points, 12 assists and three steals and Wendell Carter Jr. had 12 points, four blocks and three steals for Duke, which took control of the contest midway through the first half with a 27-8 run.

Commenting on freshman Bagley III, Allen said: “He’s so good at going and getting offensive rebounds, especially his own shots.

“He just gets up quick so you don’t even know, but he’ll get three offensive rebounds on one possession. Having a weapon like that is great. It gives us a lot of confidence as shooters when you see that guy down there that, if you happen to miss, he’ll probably go get it.

“He’s been great and I think he was really important for us in the beginning of the game when we were kind of flat. He brought energy.”

Akolda Manyang tallied 17 points and 12 rebounds to lead the way for Utah Valley (0-2), who also lost to No. 5 Kentucky on Friday night.

Kenneth Ogbe, Kenneth scored 13 points, Brandon Randolph had 12 and Conner Toolson finished with 11 for the Wolverines, who struggled with turnovers again and were punished almost everytime.

DURHAM, N.C, Sporting Alert – Four players scored in double figures and No. 1 Duke blew past Bowie State 116-53 at Cameron Indoor Stadium in its final exhibition game before the start of the regular season. Box Score (HTML)  |  Box Score (PDF)

Three of those players registered double-doubles, with freshman Marvin Bagley III finishing with a game-best 25 points and 10 rebounds and fellow newcomer Wendell Carter Jr. adding 23 points on 11 of 13 shooting with 14 rebounds for Duke.

“He (Bagley III) had made a lot of progress. The kid, he really loves to play. He is just unique and you have to let unique happen,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said about Bagley III’s progress.

“Today he was really comfortable with letting that happen with still being part of the team, where it’s not just about you. He’s got to be able to go. He’s got that quick second jump, quicker than almost anybody and hit or miss, he’s boom, boom, boom.”

Senior guard Grayson Allen ended with 21 points and 11 assists and freshman Gary Trent Jr. scored 22 points and made 5 of 9 from 3-point range for the Blue Devils.

Also making a useful contribution in the win for Duke was Marques Bolden, who scored 13 points and grabbed eight rebounds.

“I thought Marques did a really good job,” said Krzyzewski.

The home side dominated the tune-up from the get-go and opened up a comfortable 42-point halftime lead, at 69-27 and shot an impressive 69.4 percent from the floor at the break.

David Belle scored 13 points to lead Bowie State, with Ahmaad Wilson adding 12 and Omari George scoring 10 in the defeat.
