BEARS, BAD NEWS: No. 21 Duke men's b-ball brings down No. 10 Baylor in to and fro fight in New York

It was an ever changing fight for a large portion of the 40 minutes of play. The 21st-ranked Blue Devils overcame a six-minute deficit in the second half to defeat the 10th-ranked Bears 78-70 at the neutral site, helped along by a Duke-dominated crowd roughly twice as big as Cameron Indoor Stadium's full capacity. Jared McCain drove the triumphant exertion with 21 focuses on 7-of-11 shooting, tying his vocation high.

Youthful had the best succession of the game to complete Scheyer said of the 6-foot-10 focus' last couple of moments and four focuses, which put his profession absolute more than 1,000. " That is a big deal grouping, it truly expanded that lead and set us strategically set up to win.

Encourage got his third beginning in Delegate's nonappearance, as the sophomore is as yet sidelined with a lower leg injury.

We felt this was our second, lead trainer Jon Scheyer said after the articulation win.

Subsequent to following for a large part of the last part, the Blue Fiends (8-3, 0-1 in the ACC) tracked down a burst with under six minutes to play. Ryan Youthful scored Duke's most memorable seat points of the night on a go on layup. He and Jeremy Bug (18 focuses) then constrained a held ball turnover after a whiff from Yves Missi and the senior sunk a long two on his own end. The alumni chief then, at that point, snatched a cautious board, took care of the ball to Bug, got a pass back and tracked down a completely open McCain on the corner.

On Wednesday night, when the Blue Villain offense faltered, as it has on many times this season, it went to McCain.

Yet again with under 10 minutes to play, the Blue Demons had the lead, and each observer in blue was standing and shouting. Let's go Duke" chants filled Madison Square Garden, proving Cameron North's adage.

I was trying to say out there, 'it's simply man time. You just have to take care of business, Bug said after the game.

Duke fell cold after a McCain layup only more than over two minutes into the subsequent period.

Mark Mitchell at last got through at the edge to end a three or more moment field objective dry spell, carrying the score to 48-44.

Filipowski, while viable on both the hostile and cautious glass with 10 bounce back, was wasteful in his scoring exertion. He finished with 13 points, but only on 5-of-14 shooting.

The middle ate to finish off the primary half, scoring nine of Baylor's last 13; he alone outscored the Blue Demons over that almost eight-minute stretch.

Halfway through the primary half, first year recruit forward TJ Power protected an Adoration layup endeavor, however Walter had the option to get the bounce back — just the group's subsequent hostile board by then for two simple focuses at the edge. After scoring four straight points to reduce its deficit to eight, the Baylor crowd roared louder than the majority of blue fans. It didn't keep going long. Cockroach answered seconds after the fact, taking advantage of a hole in the paint for his very own layup and quieting the Bears fans.

Only days after a 28-point appearing from Filipowski against Hofstra, the watchmen had a great time.
