Cam Reddish Breaks Out As Duke Defeats Boston College
Everyone talks about Tre Jones, Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett but one freshman seems to have been under the radar and that is Cam Reddish but everyone should know him now after the game he had as Duke resumed Atlantic Coast Conference play.
Freshman Cameron Reddish scored 24 points, and No. 2 Duke pulled away to beat Boston College 80-55 on Tuesday night. “according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211789310&DB_OEM_ID=4200
Zion Williamson had 16 points and a season-best 17 rebounds, RJ Barrett finished with 19 points and Tre Jones added 11 points for the Blue Devils (20-2, 8-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). “according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211789310&DB_OEM_ID=4200
They overcame some shaky early shooting by shooting 63 percent after halftime to claim their sixth straight win, and they will be no worse than tied for first in the league standings when they visit No. 3 Virginia on Saturday night. “according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211789310&DB_OEM_ID=4200
Jordan Chatman scored 16 points while North Carolina native Ky Bowman finished with 11 -- he averages 20.8 -- on 5-of-17 shooting while facing constant pressure from Jones. BC (11-10, 2-7) gave Duke fits for a half before fading down the stretch of its third straight loss. “according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211789310&DB_OEM_ID=4200
Reddish finished one point shy of his previous high, set Nov. 11 against Army, and this was his best game since scoring 23 at Florida State on Jan. 12 and hitting the game-winning 3-pointer in the closing seconds. “according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211789310&DB_OEM_ID=4200
He scored 10 points in less than four minutes, hitting two 3s three possessions apart while starting the 23-8 run that put the Blue Devils in control. The lead gradually grew from there, with Alex O'Connell making it a 20-point game with his jumper with about five minutes left. “according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211789310&DB_OEM_ID=4200
Duke will return to the court Saturday in Charlottesville where they will take on Virginia in the rematch and unlike the first game in Durham Tre Jones who didn’t play in the first matchup because of an AC Joint separation he suffered against Syracuse will run the point for Duke.
The question heading into the rematch is will Virginia point guard Ty Jerome play? Earlier this week Virginia Head Coach Tony Bennett said that Ty Jerome’s status is uncertain for the week ahead. “according to https://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2019/02/04/ty-jerome/
