Duke Basketball vs. Pennsylvania: 114-55

This was one of those games that you knew was going to be a blow out. I looked up Pennsylvania's record and they were 0-8. Well, that was an indication of how uncompetitive the game was going to be. I thought the game got a bit messy at times. I think this is indicated by the fact that Jon Scheyer (according to the box score) had four turnovers. On the other hand, Duke kept their concentration in a game that had the potential of seeing Pennsylvania make a little run. This can be seen by the fact that Duke won the first half by 29, but also won the second half by 30. Duke's defense even seemed to play harder in the second half as Pennsylvania scored 29 in the first half and 26 in the second. I will say that the back end of the second half had Pennsylvania giving some hard fouls. Next up is Clemson and time to see how Duke really ranks.
