No. 11 Duke takes care of business against Seattle

Added to Favorite


Tyrese Proctor scored 13 points as No. 11 Duke put together a methodical 70-48 victory against visiting Seattle on Friday night in Durham, N.C.

It wasn’t an outing full of dazzling plays for the Blue Devils, but they did move on after the disappointment of a three-point loss to top-ranked Kansas earlier in the week.

Kon Knueppel added 11 points and Cooper Flagg, Khaman Maluach and Isaiah Evans each had nine points for Duke (5-2). Flagg, considered the top prospect for next year’s NBA draft, also churned out nine rebounds and seven assists.

Caleb Foster scored the first four points of the second half as part of Duke’s 13-0 spurt coming out of intermission. After that burst for the Blue Devils, they were outscored 23-20 the rest of the way.

Paris Dawson notched 10 points off the bench for Seattle (2-5), which shot 21.3 from the field for the game. Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe had nine points and 12 rebounds.

Exactly half of the Redhawks’ points came on free throws, so Duke will want to assess some of its defensive work before a showdown against undefeated Auburn on Wednesday night in Durham. Four of the Blue Devils’ victories this season have come in home games.

Long-range shooting made a big difference in Duke’s favor. The Blue Devils made 10 shots from 3-point range, while Seattle connected just four times. Seattle’s starters combined to go 0-for-11 from beyond the arc.

Duke was just 39.7 percent from the field for the game, which was the first outing on its home court in nearly two weeks. Nine players scored for the Blue Devils.

Duke was sluggish for much of the first half, but finally got rolling in the final 10 minutes. The Blue Devils led 37-25 at the break, with Flagg’s nine points leading the scoring. Evans’ 3-pointer and Flagg’s dunk on consecutive possessions provided a spark.
