The Blue Devils are set to open the 2019 season on one of college football's biggest stages.
The top-ranked Blue Devils posted an impressive win in the title game of the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off Sunday, topping No. 21 Rhode Island 75-65 with virtually no depth. Duke's five starters all played at least 33 minutes and all scored in double figures, led by sophomore Luke Kennard's 24 points. The Blue Devils also managed to outrebound the Rams despite using a four-guard lineup, with 6-foot-9 forward Amile Jefferson grabbing 15 boards.
Pittsburgh dominated the Blue Devils in every phase of the game Saturday on its way to a 56-14 win. After Duke cornerback Bryon Fields returned an interception for a touchdown in the second quarter to trim the deficit to 21-14, the Panthers scored the last 35 points of the contest. The Blue Devils dropped to 4-7 with the loss, but could still sneak into a bowl if they win their season finale at Miami next week.
Duke's 78-68 win against Penn State in the semifinals of the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off came at a cost for the Blue Devils, as sophomore center Chase Jeter went down with an ankle injury in the first half and did not return. Five Duke players scored in double figures and played at least 35 minutes.
After Duke's 77-75 loss against Kansas Tuesday night, the Blue Devils will head back to the northeast this weekend for the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off in Uncasville, Conn. Duke will play Penn State Saturday and either Cincinnati or Rhode Island Sunday.
Duke and Pittsburgh both have momentum after big wins last week heading into their matchup Saturday at 3 p.m. If the Blue Devils can pull off a road upset, they will likely be in the mix for their fifth straight bowl appearance, but a victory will not be easy against the Panthers and star running back James Conner.
Despite battling back from a 10-point deficit in the final five minutes of Tuesday night's matchup against No. 7 Kansas, top-ranked Duke suffered its first loss of the season, falling 77-75 to the Jayhawks in New York. Sophomore Luke Kennard starred for the Blue Devils, tallying 22 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the field and nailing a pair of triples. Freshman Frank Jackson also hit two 3-pointers in the waning minutes, including a game-tying triple with 20 seconds left, but a contested jumper by Kansas' Frank Mason III in the closing seconds propelled the Jayhawks to victory.
Top-ranked Duke will be put to an early test Tuesday at about 9:30 p.m. against No. 7 Kansas at Madison Square Garden in New York in the Champions Classic. All eyes will be on freshman wing Josh Jackson for the Jayhawks, but three of the Blue Devils' most prized recruits will all likely be out with injuries. Duke has lost in the Champions Classic in two of the last three years and will look to reverse that trend with a statement win in its third game of the season.
Duke recovered from a slow start to cruise past Grand Canyon 96-61 Saturday night in its second win in as many days at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Grayson Allen and Frank Jackson both scored more than 46 points, as the Blue Devils' backcourt more than made up for the team's injuries in the post. Head coach Mike Krzyzewski said in his postgame press conference that he does not expect Jayson Tatum, Marques Bolden or Harry Giles to play Tuesday against No. 3 Kansas in New York.
Following Duke's blowout win to open the season against Marist Friday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium, The Chronicle's Sameer Pandhare and Sid Bhaskara broke down what worked for the Blue Devils without three of their best freshmen in the 94-49 win.
Duke opens the season this weekend with home games on back to back days against Marist Friday at 7 p.m. and Grand Canyon Saturday 5:30 p.m. The Blue Devils are shorthanded in the frontcourt without Marques Bolden or Harry Giles, likely giving Chase Jeter and Javin DeLaurier more chances to get on the floor and make plays in the season's first two games.
The Blue Devils stunned No. 15 North Carolina for their first ACC win of the season Thursday night at Wallace Wade Stadium, rallying from a 14-0 deficit to win 28-27 and bring the Victory Bell back to Durham. After the Tar Heels scored touchdowns on three of their first four drives, Duke's defense kept them out of the end zone on their last seven possessions to put the Blue Devils in a position to win.
The Blue Devils will welcome No. 15 North Carolina to Wallace Wade Stadium Thursday night at 7:30, looking for their first win against their Tobacco Road rivals in three years. Duke can keep its slim bowl hopes alive with a victory, but will have to contain quarterback Mitch Trubisky, running back Elijah Hood and the rest of the Tar Heels' explosive offense.
