Duke Wins Big, Despite Injuries to Key Players

0:00On March 8th, Duke grabbed a solid 75-61 victory over North Carolina on Saturday in their big rivalry match-up. The win came with some worry, though, as two key players dealt with foot injuries during the game. Patton Gangba started sideline with a boot on his foot, listed as a game-time decision, but he sat out. Officials say it's not too bad, and he should return before long. Caleb Foster's issue looks more concerning, though. He finished the game needing a boot, too, and recovery might take longer. Duke fans loved watching their team build a lead-up to 25 points before Carolina narrowed at late. Standout efforts from Cameron Booser, Dame Tsar, and Malik Brown powered the Blue Devils to pull ahead comfortably. Even without the usual back-and-forth drama of a classic showdown, this result keeps Duke rolling strong into the next stretch.
