DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — The No. 11 Duke Blue Devils made a triumphant return to the Cameron Indoor Stadium on Friday night, outclassing the Seattle Redhawks 70-48 in a game that showcased their tenacity and resilience after a tough loss to Kansas earlier this week.
Tyrese Proctor took center stage, scoring 13 crucial points that contributed significantly to his team's crucial win. His performance, coupled with the team's awe-inspiring defensive display, proved too much for Seattle to handle.
No. 11 Duke reasserted their dominance on the court by restricting the Seattle Redhawks to an abysmal 21.3% shooting percentage – one of their worst performances this season. The Blue Devils' defensive prowess undoubtedly played a vital role in stifling Seattle's offense, stifling any chances they had of pulling off an upset.
The game marked an impressive bounce-back for the Blue Devils, who are clearly intent on regrouping and refocusing their efforts following a tough loss to Kansas. It remains to be seen whether they can sustain the momentum in their upcoming games, but one thing is certain – No. 11 Duke has shown they have the skill, the passion, and the grit to overcome adversity and make it to the top.
Coach Scheyer and his team should be commended for their efforts in reclaiming their winning form. As they move forward, they'll be eager to build on this momentous victory and mount a serious challenge for the college basketball championship.
