Duke’s star freshman forward Cameron Boozer delivered a Thanksgiving performance to remember, powering the Blue Devils past Arkansas 80–72 on Thursday night. The phenom was virtually unstoppable, pouring in 35 points and grabbing nine rebounds, willing Duke to victory in what was a tight matchup deep into the second half.
Despite having just two other players reach double figures, Caleb Foster with 18 and Patrick Ngongba with 11, the Blue Devils leaned heavily on Boozer’s brilliance. Possession after possession, he imposed his will in the paint, scoring through contact, dominating the glass, and drawing fouls at a remarkable rate.
