Duke falls to Wisconsin 73-69

Duke has lost it’s first game in the Big10/ACC Challenge as they lost in Madison on Wednesday night. Duke was playing from behind the entire game and was down by double digits quite often. They made things interested late in the game thanks to three pointers from Andre Dawkins but with under a minute they were unable to score the big bucket that that they needed to and lost 73-69.

Duke had a very hard time slowing down Wisconsin player Trevon Hughes who scored 19 of his 26 points in the second half. Kyle Singler was the opposite as he scored 17 of his 28 points in the firt half to lead the Blue Devils.

Dawkins chipped in with 12 points for Duke all on three pointers.

Duke won’t have time to think about this game as they have another big game on Saturday against St. Johns. St. Johns will be coming into Cameron with a 6-0 record and will be looking to knock off the Blue Devils. I think Duke bounces back and picks up a victory.
