Double-doubles vs. Seton Hall Duke went off for 18 points (4-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists across 40 minutes in Sunday's 80-77 overtime win over Seton Hall.
Impact After playing no more than 33 minutes in any of his first three games of the season, Duke hasn't fallen below 38 minutes in any of the subsequent four contests and has seen his production tick up accordingly. During that stretch, Duke has averaged 23.3 points on 49.2 percent shooting from the floor while chipping in 5.8 boards, 4.3 assists and 2.3 triples. With backcourt mate Jared Bynum stuck in a major shooting slump to begin the season (27.5 field-goal percentage), expect Duke to once again carry the load for the Friars offensively in Wednesday's matchup with Butler.
