Patrick Ngongba II led the charge with 17 points and 8 rebounds. Cameron Boozer chipped in 14 points. The Blue Devils jumped to a 47-19 halftime lead. Everyone on Duke’s roster got involved.
This dominant win keeps Duke’s perfect start alive. Head coach Jon Scheyer’s team is excelling early. The 6-0 record marks their best opening under Scheyer.
Cameron Boozer Leads Duke’s Firepower
| Player | Points Per Game | Notable Stat |
|---|---|---|
| Cameron Boozer | 20.3 | Shooting 50.6% from field |
| Isaiah Evans | 13.3 | Consistent scorer |
| Patrick Ngongba II | Variable | 17 pts, 8 reb vs Niagara |
Boozer is shooting incredibly well. Fifty percent from the field is elite. Evans gives Duke another scoring threat. The Blue Devils have multiple scoring options. That’s what makes them dangerous.
What Howard Brings to Durham
Howard comes into this game at 3-3. They beat Niagara last Saturday, winning 80-70. That victory shows they can compete. Guard Bryce Harris scored 20 points in that win. He’s Howard’s top scorer.
But here’s the real challenge: Duke plays at a different level right now. The Bison are facing a top-five team on the road. Cameron Indoor is one of the toughest places to play in college basketball. Howard has to deal with that atmosphere and Duke’s offense.
“Duke is undefeated at 6-0 and already possesses two power-conference wins away from Cameron Indoor.”
Can Howard Pull Off the Upset?
Oddsmakers favor Duke by 39.5 points. That’s massive. But Howard showed guts beating Niagara. They can score the basketball. Harris can get hot fast.
Still, Duke’s defense is suffocating. They limit opponents and force turnovers. Howard hasn’t faced an offense this good all season. Scheyer’s system emphasizes getting stops. That usually ends badly for underdogs.
The big question: Can Howard steal this one? Probably not. But they’ll try to stay competitive.
Is Duke Built to Make Noise in March?
Duke’s 6-0 start is impressive. They beat Texas and Kansas on the road. Those wins matter come tournament time. Boozer has proven himself a legitimate scoring threat. Evans runs the offense.
The real test comes later. Duke faces a brutal schedule. But for now, they’re clicking. Extend this perfect start at home. That’s the goal today.
