Fresh off a convincing 78-57 win over California, Duke is riding a high momentum. The Blue Devils (21-3, 13-1 ACC) raced out to a 38-23 first-half lead and held California (12-13, 5-9 ACC) to just 57 points on 20-of-57 (.351) shooting to secure the 21-point victory. Cooper Flagg scored a game-high 27 points and Khaman Maluach secured his fourth double-double of the season with 10 points and 12 rebounds. Tyrese Proctor scored double-digits for the fourth consecutive game, pouring in 18 points, highlighted by a 3-of-6 (.500) performance from beyond the arc. The Blue Devils boast one of the nation’s most efficient offenses and a stifling defense. For their upcoming game, playing at Cameron Indoor stadium, the familiar setting and support are expected to provide an extra edge against a Stanford side.
Stanford had a cold night from the floor offensively, dropping a defensive bout at Georgia Tech, 60-52, at McCamish Pavilion. The Cardinal moves to 16-9 this season with an 8-6 mark in the ACC. Jaylen Blakes, making his return from injury after three games missed, led the scoring with 12 points while dishing a game-high six assists. The Cardinal held Georgia Tech to just 60 points, its third ACC opponent to score 60 or fewer this season on 38.8 percent shooting, but the Cardinal shooting struggled, making just 30.3 percent of its field goals and 18.5 percent from beyond the arc. Stanford is looking to regroup after facing some struggles on the defensive end. For their upcoming match, without their key player, Stanford may find it tougher to generate smooth offensive sets and create open looks, particularly against a disciplined Duke defense.
