Gardner-Webb vs Duke Preview

The Blue Devils are fresh from a 67-56 win over Campbell on November 13. Forward Paolo Banchero led Duke in scoring and rebounding, netting 18 points and hauling in seven rebounds in the win. Banchero was one-year of four players averaging in double figures, and an early injury to a key player forced the Blue Devils to band together more than initially expected. Wendell Moore Jr., who exited the game early on with a knee injury, came back to score 15 points for the Blue Devils after giving them a bit of a scare.

Duke was up 33-29 at the half, and pulled away in the second quarter due to some stingy defense. “I thought the last 32 minutes we played great defense. In the second half we didn’t give up a backdoor or a 3,” Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski said after the win, per 247 Sports, adding about his players:

“They’re good listeners. We always give them a little feedback from the night before. We spent over an hour [before the game] walking through their offense. They pay attention, they take notes. They’re learning to do that for every game. That’s one of the reasons we set it up this way. It’s like intense training. I’m pleased with them. We have a good group of kids. They want to do the right thing and they want to do it together.”

On the other side, the Runnin’ Bulldogs are coming off an 86-69 loss to No. 16 Arkansas. Lance Terry and Kareem Reid each had 16 points, and Julien Soumaoro led the way for Gardner-Webb with 20 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a tough Razorbacks team.

“Julien was great, and I thought he had a great mentality for the game,” Gardner-Webb head coach Tim Craft said after the loss, via 6 Park News. “He didn’t seem scared and he played with a lot of confidence. It was great to see him. It’s one of the positives you can take out of the game when a guy like him really builds some confidence for the future.”

The Runnin’ Bulldogs are shooting 41.6% from the floor and are averaging 63.5 points a game, but it’s on defense where things have been sketchy. Gardner-Webb is surrendering 75.0 points a game, and it has just six blocked shots through its first two games. They’ll be challenged in a big way on all fronts against this Duke squad.
