There was blood on the back of Marvin Bagley III's jersey and he needed a second-half pit stop to make a track-bar adjustment to his right index finger and Bonzie Colson hung off him like a bad suit, and still nothing could stop him.
This was a good night for Duke and a bad game for bad narratives. Bagley and Grayson Allen somehow managed to coexist for a combined 56 points. Trevon Duval struggled – even missing an unobstructed dunk attempt – and it didn't matter. Colson thrived in the middle of the Duke zone and Martinus Geben was a force on the boards, and Duke had more firepower anyway.
