Duke looks to extend streak vs Ga. Tech
Duke looks for its 11th straight win in the head-to-head series over Georgia TechMARCH 1, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Career day as Duke falls Hurt had 37 points (15-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and seven rebounds across 43 minutes in Saturday's 80-73 OT loss to Louisville.
Impact Hurt has been forced to take on an even bigger role with the sudden news that potential lottery pick Jalen Johnson would be opting out. The sophomore has answered the call and then some, averaging 24.0 points and 4.6 rebounds in the last five games, with Duke going 4-1 over that span. Hurt's effort Saturday resulted in a new career high in scoring, shattering his previous mark of 26 points. The loss was a big hit for Duke's NCAA Tournament hopes, but there will still be opportunities to pick up resume-building wins in scheduled road matchups against Georgia Tech (March 2) and North Carolina (March 6) prior to the ACC Tournament.
