How It Works
Duke Blue Devils vs SMU Mustangs — January 4, 2025
89–62
About This Game
Duke arrived in Dallas and methodically dismantled SMU's high-octane offense. Facing the ACC's highest-scoring team—averaging over 87 points per game—the Blue Devils deployed their elite defense to remarkable effect, holding the Mustangs to just 62 points on a dismal 34% shooting night. SMU never found rhythm, their only lead a brief 3-2 advantage before Duke's suffocating defense took command.
The Blue Devils' scoring attack proved equally balanced. Cooper Flagg, the standout freshman, orchestrated Duke's offense with 24 points and 11 rebounds, displaying the versatile skill that makes him dangerous on both ends. Tyrese Proctor and Kon Knueppel each added 14 points, distributing the offensive burden across multiple weapons. SMU's Boopie Miller led the Mustangs with 21 points, and Samet Yigitoglu battled inside with 10 points and 13 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to overcome Duke's overwhelming defensive execution.
Notably, Duke operated under associate head coach Chris Carrawell, with head coach Jon Scheyer remaining home ill. The team's composure without their primary leader demonstrated championship-caliber maturity, extending their winning streak to eight games with a 27-point victory. Every possession, every defensive stand, and every moment of dominance is preserved in Gameprint, the custom wall art that captures this defensive masterclass.
