MSU stuns Duke despite Wisconsin great John Blackwell's 17 points

Former Wisconsin Badgers guard John Blackwell led Duke in scoring during the Blue Devils' shocking 79-73 loss to Michigan State. Blackwell seemed to have the Spartans number during his time in Madison, but that wasn't the case in the State Farm Champions Classic on Tuesday, Nov. 10. His 32 minutes were the most of any Duke player, and he shot 6-for-16 from the field which included his 3-for-11 mark from three-point range. Blackwell dropped a team-high 17 points, a number that was only one point shy of leading all scorers. This marked his third game with the Blue Devils. After an incredibly rough debut against Army, he scored 15 points in a 61-point win over Coastal Carolina. Duke now sits at 2-1 and will host SIU Edwardsville on Friday, Nov. 13, before taking on No. 3 Illinois on Tuesday, Nov. 17.
