Duke Gets Back On Track With Rout Of Indiana In The ACC/ Big Ten Challenge

A season ago Duke only won by ten points over Indiana in the ACC/ Big Ten Challenge. This season however that was not the case instead they won by twenty one points as they bounced back from their first loss of the season.

Zion Williamson scored 25 points, RJ Barrett added 22 and No. 3 Duke routed Indiana 90-69 on Tuesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. “according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211782011&DB_OEM_ID=4200

Tre Jones added 15 points and a fourth Duke freshman -- Cameron Reddish -- finished with 13 to help the Blue Devils (6-1) bounce back from their lone loss and win one of the made-for-TV event's glamour matchups. This one featured a handful of potential NBA lottery picks -- the Duke freshmen and Indiana's Romeo Langford -- on the floor at the same time. “according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211782011&DB_OEM_ID=4200

Duke looked nothing like the group that lost to Gonzaga last week in the Maui Invitational final . The Blue Devils never trailed, shot 52 percent and turned a season-worst 20 turnovers by Indiana into 24 points. “according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211782011&DB_OEM_ID=4200

Langford scored 13 points on 3-of-15 shooting to lead the Hoosiers (5-2). But No. 2 scorer Juwan Morgan, who averages 17.5 points, was in foul trouble all night and finished with eight. Indiana trailed by 24 points at halftime and never got closer than 19 in the second half. “according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211782011&DB_OEM_ID=4200
