The game, held at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, was attended by a full house of 9,314 spectators who witnessed the home team's dominance on both ends of the court. The Blue Devils showcased their scoring ability by netting an impressive 14 three-pointers out of 35 attempts, translating to a solid 40 percent success rate from beyond the arc. Their overall field goal percentage stood at nearly as impressive at around 46 percent for the game.

The Duke squad also excelled in ball distribution and defense. They tallied up to 18 assists over the course of play and managed to block four shots against their opponents. Their rebounding was particularly noteworthy as they outrebounded the Knights with a total count of 37 rebounds; this included pulling down an imposing number on offense with eleven offensive boards contributing significantly to their second-chance points tally which reached fifteen.

While focusing on Duke's performance, it is important not to overlook what Bellarmine brought to the court.

However, turnovers played a pivotal role in shaping this contest’s outcome; while both teams took good care of the ball overall (the Knights had seven turnovers compared to eight for Duke), it was how these turnovers translated into points that made all difference: thirteen points off turnovers for Duke versus ten for Bellarmine.
