Birthday boy Tre Jones leads Duke to victory in second half struggle
Birthday boy Tre Jones led the Duke Basketball team to a comeback victory over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Wednesday night.
On his 20th birthday, Tre Jones posted a team-high 16 points as the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils needed a second half comeback victory to defeat the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, 73-64.
Duke led by 11 point at halftime, but Georgia Tech had a three point lead with under nine minutes to play before the Cassius Stanley dunk contest began.
Stanley tied things up at 55 but it was the senior captain Jack White to gave the Blue Devils the lead on a corner 3-pointer with just over seven minute to play.
