Each season Duke puts on an ode to the beginning of the season, Countdown to Craziness. The highlight of the evenings festivities is a scrimmage (The Blue – White Scrimmage). The intra-squad scrimmage goes for a half and gives the fans the opportunity to see the team before the official start to preseason games.
I always hate to put too much emphasis on a 20 minute scrimmage where a team is playing a fractured lineup against each other but, well it’s what we have so lets dive right in. Firstly the starters:
BLUE:
RJ Barrett, Marques Bolden, Cam Reddish, Jack White, Jordan Goldwire
Blue Bench: Justin Robinson, Mike Buckmire
WHITE:
Tre Jones, Alex O’Connell, Javin DeLaurier, Zion Willamson and Antonio Vrankovic
White Bench: Joey Baker, Brennan Besser
Secondly, it was no surprise that the White team took the win 44-39.
