Duke interim head coach Jeff Capel made a switch to his team’s starting lineup Monday night against N.C. State by going with the players who helped the Blue Devils beat Miami Saturday.
Guards Grayson Allen and Luke Kennard, and freshman forward Harry Giles normally start. But Capel went with Marques Bolden, Frank Jackson and Matt Jones instead. Amile Jefferson and Jayson Tatum also started.
It was Bolden’s first start of his career.
Allen, Kennard and Giles eventually checked in with 15:45 remaining in the first half half. But through the first four minutes of the game, the new starters played well.
