Can Duke Blue Devils' High-Octane Offense Outshine Stanford Cardinal Again?
In a recent face-off at Cameron Indoor Stadium, the Duke Blue Devils showcased their offensive might against the Stanford Cardinal, concluding the game with a commanding 106-70 victory. This win further solidified the Blue Devils' impressive season record to an undisclosed number of victories against losses, while the Cardinal's record also adjusted accordingly. The game was marked by high efficiency from both teams, but it was Duke's ability to convert opportunities into points that set them apart.
The Offensive Juggernaut
The Duke Blue Devils were unstoppable on offense, boasting a 62 percent field goal percentage and an even more impressive 74 percent two-point shooting accuracy. Their prowess from beyond the arc was equally notable, with a 48 percent success rate contributing significantly to their total score. Tyrese Proctor and Cooper Flagg led the charge for Duke, scoring 23 and 19 points respectively. Proctor's sharpshooting was on full display as he hit an astonishing 69 percent of his field goals and 62 percent from three-point range. Flagg complemented this performance with a well-rounded stat line that included six assists and five rebounds alongside his scoring output.
Stanford Cardinal's Efforts
Despite falling short in points, the Stanford Cardinal demonstrated resilience throughout the game. They managed a respectable 38 percent shooting from the field and were particularly effective from the free-throw line where they capitalized at a rate of 77 percent. However, their efforts in paint were stifled by Duke’s defense, managing only 16 points compared to Duke’s dominant 42 points in this area.
