Hurley’s return

Before the game began, Duke honored Arizona State head coach Bobby Hurley. Hurley won two consecutive national championships with the Blue Devils in the early 1990s before being a lottery pick in the NBA draft.

Longtime Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and current head coach Jon Scheyer presented Hurley with a culminating ball that was played in front of the crowd. As expected, Hurley received a thunderous ovation from the Cameron Crazies. Grant Hill is also in the stands on this occasion.

Game notes

1H 6:00 p.m – Cooper Flagthe Duke freshman, is aggressive early. The No. 1 player in On3’s 2024 class has high expectations. This is his first high-major experience in college. Just two minutes later, Flagg has the Cameron Crazies laughing. – Duke 8, Arizona State 4

1H 15:56 – time out – Duke 10, Arizona State 4

1H 12:15 – Khaman Maluach is huge, and that was a problem for Arizona State early on. The 7-foot-2 Duke freshman has multi-pole dunks and was a presence around the rim. With a 7-foot-9 wingspan, Maluach plays within himself. He has also shown good hands by playing from the dunker spot and getting up above the rim. A real color presence. – Duke 16, Arizona State 8

1H 10:58 – Freshman at Arizona State Jayden Quaintance was very active from an early age. Although his shot didn’t fall too early, he attacked the glass on both sides and was present around the basket. Quaintance, just 17 years old, is a strong and explosive player and plays with an instinctive motor from an early age. – Duke 18, Arizona State 8

1H 7:05 – This Duke team is playing with excellent spacing so far. The ball stays hot all around and although the shots aren’t falling, they look clean. More importantly, it gives them plenty of open attacking lanes and one-on-one coverage. – Duke 25, Arizona State 10

1 hour 3:05 – Tyrese Proctor comes back into the game and goes on a nice 5-0 run of his own. His three-pointers were smooth and rhythmic, and his finishing at the basket came through contact to provide an open look. Proctor is in his third year at Duke and for them to live up to expectations he will need to be consistent and consistent. So far this evening there have been 12 minutes played and 0 turnovers.

1 hour 2:50 – Caleb Foster acted very aggressively and looked for his shot. He hit a three-pointer and got into the paint for a floater. Foster also picked up two bargains. Foster plays very comfortably for the Blue Devils tonight.

1H 56.8 – Basheer Jihad was Arizona State’s constant offensive threat. He played his encounters one-on-one and attacked the basket. He got to the free throw line to knock down shots and also finished at the rim. The 6-foot-9 senior primarily attracts Duke’s five-man squad. This has been a matchup so far that has favored Arizona State. Duke 35, Arizona State 31

half time; Duke 37, Arizona State 21

Six Duke players scored, led by the sophomore guard Caleb Foster’s 9. He has 4-6 FG and 1-2 3P. Cooper Flag And Tyrese Proctor everyone has 7 and Khaman Maluach has 6.

For Arizona State, senior Basheer Jihad is the game’s top scorer with 10. He has 2-4 FG and 5-6 FT.

Arizona State is 2-13 from three with 9 turnovers and Duke is 2-11 from three with 5 turnovers.

Second half

2H 18:02 – This color matchup with Jayden Quaintance And Khaman Maluach was interesting. Maluach is simply a physical presence, his size and length are a problem when he has his feet underneath him. Quaintance’s nervous athleticism and fluid movement have caused problems at times. Maluach catches Quaintace first, blocks his shot and then ends up at the rim at the other end. Quaintace comes right back, gets an offensive rebound and finishes through contact, and-1. Duke 41, Arizona State 23

2H 16:48 – Duke freshman Kon stick has now set the Cameron Crazies on fire with consecutive three-pointers. The 1.90 meter tall guard had a bit of trouble finding his footing from a distance when he was 0-3 in the first half. As I write this entry, he has just knocked down the three-one. In the second round he came away confidently, now with three three-pointers. That happened quickly. Duke 47, Arizona State 23

2H 15:23 – Timeout. Duke 56, Arizona State 23

2H 8:01 – Duke Sr Sion James knocked down his third three-pointer of the second half. The long and strong wing was an all-rounder for Duke, spreading the floor, guarding the ball and acting as a secondary initiator. Even when he comes off the bench, he is a valuable addition to the Blue Devils team. – Duke 80, Arizona State 40

2H 6:20 – I talked about this above, but the spacing Duke plays with results in a clean look. After only shooting two three-pointers in the first half, they made 13 in the second (13-19). Six different players shot a three-pointer as the second half lasted nearly 14 minutes.

Final; Duke 103, Arizona State 47

Duke freshman Kon stick led all scorers with 19 points. He was 6-11 FG and 4-8 from three. Second semester Caleb Foster (6-10FG/3-5 3P) finished with 17. Sion James had 13 and Darren Harris and Mason Gillis Each had 10. Duke freshmen Cooper Flag Completed with 9.

Jayden Quaintance and Basheer Jihad each ranked 11th for Arizona State.
