Arkansas basketball fans saw their Thanksgiving Day end on a sour note thanks to Cameron Boozer’s statsheet-stuffing performance.
No. 4 Duke outlasted the Razorbacks 80-71 with the five-star freshman scoring 35 points on 13 of 18 from the field to go along with 9 rebounds. The Blue Devils only had two other players in double figures, but Boozer put the team on his back and carried them to victory.
Arkansas struggled with Duke’s length, shooting 41% from the floor and 33% from behind the arc. Freshman guard Darius Acuff Jr. led the Hogs in scoring with 21 points and 5 assists, shooting 8 of 17 from the floor and 4 of 8 from deep.
