Duke Carves Syracuse Up In The Carrier Dome, 97-72

With 3:32 to go at Syracuse, Duke’s Mark Williams dunked and at the media timeout, Syracue’s Jim Boeheim wore a wry smile as he watched Frank Sibide walk to the bench. He tapped him on the chest, perhaps in sympathy.

What could he do?

Williams had just scored his 28th point on 11-14 and Duke was up 23 and would win 97-72. Duke had been up by 20 more for most of the game. And with the way Duke started offensively, what could anyone do?

Because the Blue Devils started with a positively freakish offensive performance, going up 14-0 and running that out to 41-13.
