Posted On: November 13, 2006 By: Cliff Comments: (zero)

Junior guard DeMarcus Nelson lifted the Dukies to a 73-48 win tonight over a scrappy Georgian Southern team.  It was Nelson who kept Duke in the game in first half as Duke trailed most of the half to a Georgian Southern team that was hitting threes and getting a lot of calls going their way.  Nelson sparked the team with his three pointer right before halftime.  Nelson finished the game with 16 points and 10 rebounds for a double-double.

Josh McRoberts added 16 points, six rebounds and three blocked shots while Gerald Henderson had 13 points and a pair of steals.  Jon Scheyer chipped in 11 points, four boards and four assists.

Duke (2-0) advances to the semifinals of the CBE Classic and will meet the winner of the Palo Alto Regional (Stanford vs. San Jose State; Air Force vs. Long Beach State) on Monday, November 20 at 7 p.m. (ESPN 2) in Kansas City, Mo.

Up next for the Blue Devils is UNC Greensboro on Thursday night at 7 p.m. in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
