No. 3 Duke men’s basketball places 106-70 victory against Stanford in the offensive clinic

The Blue Devils were not very hospitable compared to the new contingent of the west coast of the ACC.

No. 3 Duke drove a 106-70 victory against Stanford behind a spectacular shooting performance on Saturday afternoon. It was the highest score of the season for the home man.

“I thought it was just a great overall game for our boys. I thought the willingness was really good, I think the recordings come on the offensive from a large part and a large pace, ”said head coach Jon Scheyer.

The game began to move away from the cardinal (16-10, 8-7 in the ACC), about 10 minutes in the first half. In the middle of a 14: 3 run of the Blue Devils, Stanford could not find any light buckets on the offensive. Khaman Maluach was waiting in color. Add a strong route from Duke, and the lead drove to 15 at about eight minutes before half -time.

From there it didn’t get better, especially because of the efforts of the Tyrese Proctor. The Junior Guard – which is in the middle of the best route of his duke career, was repeated through the cardinal defense for layups and was open to the open threesome beyond the arch. Born in Sydney, the first half ended with 17 points in the 7-opposite 11 shoot.

In the first half, everything clicked for the Blue Devils (22-3, 14-1) when she shot 58.1% out of the field and 43.8% of three. Perhaps more impressive, Duke went almost the entire first 20 minutes without turning the ball around until a faulty Isaiah Evans passed in half with 3:20. The last balance sheet was 11 templates for sales when both teams went into the changing room and Duke led 49: 34 on the Horn.

“I think it’s just duke basketball. These are just the standards we play, only find the open man, make the right passport and make the right reading. It is exactly what we try to do with every possession, ”said Cooper Flagg.

The Blue Devils continued to attack the frame from the break. Sion James pulled one and one on his first trip. Kon Knueppel knocked down a Fadaway to keep up with Stanford’s offense. However, the following two buckets were much more about the taste of the Cameron. Flagg and Maluach threw both Dunks home to excite the domestic amount.

“Raynaud is a hard cover. They do some really good things for him, but the fact that he was achieved 19 at 21 shots is really what they want, ”said head coach Jon Scheyer.

The Maluach Brown combination worked in the perfect tandem all afternoon. Both bigs were based on their respective skills to defend Raynaud and help Duke take a dominant lead. Maluach added several thundering dunks inside and Brown Multiple Dimes when head coach Jon Scheyer used them interchangeable.

Maluach in particular had a major impact on the competition. Born in Rumbek, South Sudan, was in an excellent position and his teammates kept feeding him for open darks. He also had his way on the offensive glass; Four of Maluach’s six boards were offensive.

Duke’s highly intensive game at both ends of the soil seemed to disturb the visitors during the first period. Head coach Kyle Smith had to burn two breaks in the first eight minutes. The hustle and bustle from the Blue Devils was also consistently obvious, with several players forced distractions and diving on the floor for loose balls.

Saturday was the return of the former Blue Devil Jaylen Blakes to the Cameron Indoor Stadium. The native Somerset, NJ, was welcomed by the home driver during the introduction of players by the diagered applause and signaled the lack of hard feelings of the duke. The return on the pitch was not so pleasant blakes with two points after shooting 1: 10 out of the field.

Duke will travel to Virginia on Monday to take over the Cavaliers against the Cavaliers at 8 p.m.
