Brandon Ingram's Breakout vs. Indiana Has Duke's Deep Backcourt Looking Deadly
Dick Vitale couldn’t stop talking about 4:45 p.m. on the ESPN broadcast. And after the way Brandon Ingram shot the ball Wednesday night, who could blame him?
A long, individual workout by Duke’s 6'9" freshman wing player five hours before tipoff against Indiana—trying anything to snap out of a massive three-point shooting slump to start the season—turned into a breakout performance that should enlist even more trust in teammates and let Mike Krzyzewski believe that his guard line will be just fine.
Ingram had a career-best 24 points, easily his finest showing in a top-level game.
The start of greatness, as the adoring ESPN commentator basically put it, was quickly the end of the Hoosiers.
