Duke Thumps Elon, 105-66

A surprisingly easy win in Cameron.

Duke returned to action Monday with a surprisingly easy 105-66 demolition of an Elon Phoenix team that came into Cameron with a 9-3 mark but was overmatched against a sharp, focused Duke club.

Elon entered the contest having used an up-tempo attack and copious amounts of 3-pointers to average almost 83 points per game and they made every effort to use those tactics against Duke.

And it worked-for about five minutes. Duke only led 13-12 at the first media timeout.

Elon coach Matt Matheny said his team "did some of the little things well" early.
