Shelden Williams, Stephen Wiseman Are Recapping 5th Ranked Duke's 78-66 Win Over Kansas In State Farm Champions Classic On Bleav In Duke Podcast
Duke was at full strength Tuesday night in the Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden!
Though,
I can’t say the same for Kansas because they were playing without Darryn Peterson who is freshman guard who has hamstring injury who on the season is averaging 21.5 points , 3.5 rebounds , 3.0 assists while shooting 60% who was ruled out before the game by Head Coach Bill Self by saying.
We’re not obviously gonna have him, at least for the immediate future. I just don’t know how long that’ll be.” Self said. “We’ve got some things to discuss, but he’s got tightness in his right hamstring. He’s getting the best treatment. He wants to be out there so bad, but I’m not gonna put him out there until he feels well.”

Following Cameron Boozer , Isaiah Evans, Patrick Ngongba scoring 16, 13, 18 points following Duke beating Kansas Tuesday night in Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden who was playing without Darryn Peterson Cam Boozer had this to say!
“A lot of people might say that because we’re a young team, we might be soft, we might not be ready for games like this,”
But I think we’ve shown that we are. Just through our toughness and our competitiveness. We’ve shown it in spurts every game. I don’t think we’ve put together a full 40 minutes of it yet, but when we do it’s going to be special.”
“I have to take what the defense gives me,“They were doubling me a lot in the first half and the second half they weren’t doubling me as much. So in the first half those passes were there, and in the second half I was able to be more aggressive.”
Following Cameron Boozer , Isaiah Evans, Patrick Ngongba scoring 16, 13, 18 points following Duke beating Kansas Tuesday night in Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden who was playing without Darryn Peterson Isaiah Evans had this to say about hitting, making 3 pointer!
I noticed (Melvin) Council was stretched out across the 3-point line,”So I just stepped out a little farther.”
Following Cameron Boozer , Isaiah Evans, Patrick Ngongba scoring 16, 13, 18 points following Duke beating Kansas Tuesday night in Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden who was playing without Darryn Peterson Duke Head Coach Jon Scheyer had this to say about Isaiah Evans 3 pointer that he made as shot clock expired!
“Those aren’t easy situations to be in, especially if it’s your first time in the Garden like some of these guys, or if it’s your second or your third,
I thought especially down the stretch, some of those plays, we just showed great poise. It’s what it’s all about.
