Posted Mar 15, 2019
With the return of Zion Williamson, Duke shut down Syracuse, 84-72. Williamson did not miss a shot all night (13-of-13) and scored 21 of his 29 points in the first half to go along with 14 rebounds and five steals. Mike Krzyzewski’s team has not been the typical Duke squad the ACC is accustomed to. It is last in the ACC in three-point field goal percentage (31 percent). (Inside Carolina)
