Tape sat out this past season while finishing up his coursework at Columbia. He tore a ligament in his toe over the summer and then aggravated the injury before the season began, which would have forced him to miss at least a few games. Instead of playing just a portion of his final season of college basketball, Tape decided to leave the team and preserve his final season of eligibility.according to an article by Jeff Borzello on espn.com

Tape averaged 11.3 points and 5.9 rebounds in the 2018-19 season. He should provide depth inside for Duke next season, as he adds experience to a frontcourt that includes freshmen Jaemyn Brakefield, Henry Coleman and Mark Williams.according to an article by Jeff Borzello on espn.com
