The Duke Blue Devils used an impressive second half shooting display to pull away from the Syracuse Orange in the first game of 2024, but the Duke Basketball Roundup crew says the story of this game is the stellar play of Mark Mitchell in the first half. The podcast gang has plenty to say about how MM kept Duke in the game with his energy and athleticism on those aggressive cuts to the basket. It was clearly Mitchell's best half of basketball in his hoops career. And then came the threes... one after another raining down on Syracuse as McCain, Roach, and Proctor got hot. Have a listen as the podcast guys break down all the good and bad from this game as Duke starts conference season with a 20-point victory.
