Paolo Banchero, AJ Griffin , Mark Williams led the way for Duke in their 74-65 win on the road at Louisville Saturday.

How?

Paolo Banchero contributed a double double with 11 points, 15 rebounds!

AJ Griffin contributed 22 points, hit back to back three pointers Griffin finished 5-of-5 from behind the arc for a game-high 22 points to help Duke tipoff their three-game road swing with a victory. After a step back three by El Ellis tied the game at 60-60 with 8:28 remaining, Duke clamped down defensively and hit some key shots with timely rebounds down the stretch. Sydney Curry had a pair of good looks under the basket in Louisville’s next two possessions, but each were swatted at the rim – first by sophomore Mark Williams and then by freshman Paolo Banchero. Williams followed up with another block a minute later, when he extended his right hand to deny a Mason Faulkner three-point attempt from the corner and was able to maintain possession for Duke.

Duke has a quick turn around as they play at Notre Dame Monday where they are making up a game that was postponed on January 1, 2022 because of Covid 19 outbreak with Duke’s program.
