I wouldn’t say it’s a slam dunk he plays, and the third stringer Thomas Castellanos struggled a ton in that game. To that point in the season, Tre Jones had his best offensive game, finishing the night 18 points on 8-of-14 shooting in addition to six assists and four rebounds. Mike Krzyzewski drew up the perfect play, using Barrett as a decoy which left Cam Reddish wide open on the wing for a 3-pointer and the freshman drilled the shot to win the game at the buzzer. There may never be a team in college basketball history that experienced the hype, media exposure, and togetherness that this Duke team went through this season.

Goldwire logged 28 minutes, only trailing Williamson, Barrett, and Jones, and came away with four points, three rebounds, two steals, and an assist.
Duke was 2-0 in ACC play with wins at home against Clemson and on the road against Wake Forest.

The Duke win sent shockwaves around the country as the Blue Devils were the only team at that point to defeat the Virginia Cavaliers, doing it twice in less than a month. Duke just took down Virginia a few weeks prior in Cameron Indoor Stadium without Tre Jones and now the Cavaliers had a shot to get the Blue Devils with Jones back on the floor in their home arena. Barrett led the Blue Devils in scoring with 32 points in addition to his three rebounds and two blocks. It was arguably Reddish’s best game as a Blue Devil with 23 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field and 5-of-8 from 3-point range. Cam Reddish had been struggling with his shot and his confidence, but a 3-pointer with under four minutes to go felt like the dagger as it put the Blue Devils up by six points.

The scored was tied at halftime at 36, but a classic Duke second half run was in store as the Blue Devils won the ACC Tournament and its first championship of the season.

Zion Williamson was playing in the second straight game after missing the past six games due to a knee sprain suffered in the first matchup back on February 20.

Zion Williamson finished the evening with 18 points, five rebounds, five assists, three steals, three blocks, one being the jaw-dropping block on a corner 3-point attempt from De’Andre Hunter.
In a back and forth affair that had fans on the edge of their seats after every possession, Duke would allow North Carolina the chance to win the game on the final possession. The win in the Champions Classic set the standard this season for Duke, and the wall-to-wall media coverage the Blue Devils would receive for the remainder of the season. Cam Reddish stuffed the stat sheet with 22 points, two rebounds, three assist, and four steals, while Tre Jones showed his floor general potential with six points, four rebounds, seven assists, and a steal.

UCF’s defense is strong, 32nd in success rate, but are going to be down the likes of Jean-Baptise, I’ll side with a motivated Blue Devils side to get the better of them. The all-time record for attendance at Wallace Wade Stadium of 57,500 was set in 1949, before the venue's renovation, when the Blue Devils hosted North Carolina. Wallace Wade Stadium, which has held a capacity of 40,004 since its expansion ahead of the 2016 season, has seen a palpable decrease in attendance over the last several years. Average home attendance in 2016 was nearly 30,000 and that number fell to just above 15,000 in 2021. The season opener brought 20,722 fans, which was the highest recorded attendance since Wallace Wade reached capacity when Duke hosted Notre Dame in 2019.
The first matchup Duke had this season with Florida State was an instant classic and another one was brewing in the Championship of the ACC Tournament. Despite the greatness of Williamson and Barrett, the game changed once Jordan Goldwire entered the game to form a scary defensive duo with Tre Jones in the Duke backcourt. If you didn’t know any better, you would have no idea that Zion was only in his second game back as he ended the evening with 31 points and 11 rebounds along with a steal and a block. This was the first game of the season and, for better or for worse, it might have been the best game of the season for Duke, in terms of everyone’s individual performance.
