R.J. Barrett's triple-double propels No. 2 Duke over NC State
DURHAM, N.C. -- RJ Barrett heard the crowd.
With just under one minute left in Duke's 94-78 win over NC State on Saturday, Barrett was sitting on nine assists -- one away from a triple-double. And the Cameron Crazies in Duke's student section were letting the freshman star know.
"When I got down there, the Crazies were telling me, 'You need one more!' I was like, 'I gotta, I need it, I need it, I gotta get it!'" Barrett recalled after the game.
He threw a pass up to Zion Williamson, who finished inside while getting fouled.
Duke's first triple-double since Shelden Williams in 2006 -- and just the fourth triple-double in program history -- was complete.
