No. 2 Duke eyes get-right game vs. SIU Edwardsville

Licking its wounds after a narrow loss to Michigan State, No. 2 Duke has the opportunity for a get-right game when it hosts SIU Edwardsville on Friday in Durham, N.C. Duke lost 79-73 to No. 5 Michigan State on Tuesday in the Champions Classic in Chicago. Preseason ACC Rookie of the Year Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje finished with just five points in 20 minutes of play. Collectively, the Blue Devils (2-1) shot just 33.3% from the floor and 24.1% from 3-point range. Michigan State scored 16 points off 13 Duke turnovers and outscored the Blue Devils 34-26 in the paint. The Spartans never trailed, with the game's only tie coming at 2-all. "That wasn't Duke basketball," said Duke fifth-year coach Jon Scheyer. "We did not play together. ... It comes down to our lack of fighting through resistance, playing together and Michigan State outplaying us. Bottom line." John Blackwell led Duke with 17 points while Patrick Ngongba tallied 11 points, seven rebounds, six assists and four blocks. Ngongba said after the game he has been playing through an illness with Scheyer adding that the 6-foot-11 center "didn't have his best stuff by any means."
