Jon Scheyer scheduled the Bellarmine Knights because he knew they would be a tough test for his squad. A team that would challenge the assembled youth. After having downed Louisville and having given Clemson all they could handle there was no wonder why the Knights hung in there with the Blue Devils for the first half and kept it interesting.
The Knights used their patience, their cutting, their mismatches on the interior at times to get opportune buckets but Duke aside from a couple of 3-pointers that had no business going in controlled the game. The Blue Devils countered the old school offense with some pinpoint 3-point shooting.
