Continuing this trend of success, another home game saw them overcome Charlotte 49ers with ease by scoring 80 points while holding Charlotte to just 56. Once again, Duke's offense shone through as they made half of their field goal attempts and maintained high efficiency at the free-throw line with a conversion rate of approximately 79 percent.


The upcoming game promises to be challenging as it will test Duke's ability to perform away from home turf where they have been particularly strong lately. Fans should expect aggressive defense leading to fast-break opportunities and efficient scoring inside the paint which has been characteristic of recent performances.
