 The game may not have been close, but it was unforgettable. Duke showcased a dominant defensive performance in the first half, followed by an explosive offensive display in the second. With a staggering 66-26 scoring margin in the second half, the Blue Devils lit up the court, sinking 15 of 23 three-pointers for an impressive 65.2% shooting from beyond the arc. As the final buzzer sounded, Duke won with a decisive 103-47 victory, despite star players Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel logging just over 20 minutes each. More than just a preseason matchup, the Brotherhood Run served as a charity exhibition benefiting Duke Children's Hospital. The event celebrated Duke basketball, highlighted by the presence of Bobby Hurley, widely regarded as the greatest point guard in college basketball history. Hurley, the all-time assists leader with 1,076 and whose jersey hangs in the rafters of Cameron Indoor Stadium, brought his Arizona State team to Duke. There, Coach K watched proudly as two of his former players went head-to-head in a coaching showdown on the court. Hurley and Jon Scheyer, instrumental in securing three of Duke's five national championship banners as players (with Scheyer adding a fourth as an assistant coach in 2015), took center stage as they faced off on Coach K Court. The score of this exhibition may fade from memory, but the sight of Hurley coaching against Scheyer with Coach K observing will linger in the hearts of Duke fans. It was truly a special night for the Brotherhood. Up next, Duke will kick off its regular season against Maine on Monday November 4th, at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
