Duke’s 74-62 win over Iowa was the team’s most complete performance of this young season.
The Blue Devil defense was stifling, holding the typically high-powered Hawkeyes to just 62 points and 19% shooting from beyond the arc, while future first-round pick Kris Murray contributed just 8 points in 36 minutes. Meanwhile, Duke shot a respectable 35% from deep, dominated the rebounding battle, and got another balanced offensive effort, with 5 players scoring at least 8 points.
It’s no coincidence that such a stellar effort happened to come as Dariq Whitehead saw his most action of the season.
