DUKE 80 PITTSBURGH 65...PITT was right in the thick of it until the 2nd Half as it was too much PARKER, JEFFERSON, and HOOD from the DUKIES..."CAMPUS Hardwood" with Duke visiting PITT #BlueDevils #PittPanthers

The Duke Blue Devils are trying to get back on that winning track and put a few W's together in the ACC as they go into Pitt and beat the Panthers 80-65. A tale of two halves as both Teams played well in the 1st half with the Blue Devils leading 34-32. Duke Freshman Sensation Jabari Parker had 15 of his game-high 21 points in the 1st half. Parker showed some 20 NBA Scouts his NBA-Ready Game with the Money Ball, Back to the Basket as well as Face-Up Moves, to go with some Mid0Range off the Bounce, and he also took the Elevator. They talk about Drew Wiggins and Julius Randle as well as Joel Embiid...Ok! Parker and fellow Arizona Freshman Aaron Gordon NBA Game as Gordon might be the most versatile of all the Freshman.

The second half was a different story as it was the Trio of Duke's Rodney Hood ( 13 pts 4 asst), Amile Jefferson (14 pts 10 rebs) , and Parker's 21 pts and eleven boards that was too much for the Pitt Front Line. Shooting 13 of 25 from the Arc as Duke did will also get you in the Winner's Circle on the road. Pitt was led by Smooth-Shooting Guard Lamar Patterson's 14 points.

The Blue Devils move to 17-4 and 6-2 in the ACC. The Pitt Panthers fall to 18-3 and 6-2 in the ACC locked up with Duke.
