Big Monday could’ve been a trap for the Duke basketball team after a notable conference victory against Clemson and its showdown with No. 1 Michigan looming on Saturday night, but it was the easiest walk in the park instead.
The No. 3 Blue Devils romped Syracuse, 101-64, inside Cameron Indoor Stadium – and that might’ve been putting it lightly.
Duke (24-2, 13-1 ACC) did whatever it wanted against the Orange who have continued its fall from grace in college basketball. The first half ended with an 11-0 run over the final 2:35 that turned a five-point game into a 16-point lead, 40-24.
