DURHAM, North Carolina -- Winston-Salem State found out in a hurry what it’s like to play Duke
at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
The Rams were scrappy enough in their preseason game last night, but they
couldn’t overcome the talented and bigger Blue Devils, who opened a big
first-half lead on the way to a 69-45 victory.
With the Blue Devils starting 6-11 Ryan Kelly and 6-10 Mason Plumlee, the
Rams never found a flow on offense.
“We know what we have to work on,” Coach Bobby Collins of WSSU said. “When
teams are stronger, faster and bigger, we have to do a better job of being
disciplined offensively. I don’t think we stayed with our offensive sets long
enough.”
Although the Blue Devils struggled with their shooting (39 percent), Plumlee
was solid, going 7 for 7 from the field and finishing with 19 points and 10
rebounds. Amile Jefferson added 13 points for Duke, and Rasheed Sulaimon scored
12.
