Duke Steamrolls SIUE, 90-47

Duke started slow against Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, missing nine of its first 11 shots, before things got going.

Duke controlled the boards early though, and got off to an early, if slow lead, at 6-2. Then the team just took off, going on a 25-6 run, behind a pair of threes from Caleb Foster, and an 11-0 burst, en route to a 90-47 win.

SIUE fouled a lot early, putting Duke in the bonus in the first five minutes. Duke’s immense size advantage, paired with solid perimeter defense that held SIUE to 0-7 from behind the line, helped the Blue Devils roll out to a 43-20 lead.

The second half was more of the same. SIUE hit a pair of threes early in the half, but there just wasn’t much…
