WEST POINT, N.Y. — No. 4 Duke continued its dominant start to the season with a 114–59 rout of Army on Tuesday night, a game played at West Point in tribute to former Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski — who once served as a cadet and player under legendary coach Bobby Knight.
Dame Sarr led Duke with 19 points and three steals, while fellow freshman Isaiah Evans added 16 points. Patrick Ngongba chipped in 16 points and nine rebounds, and Darren Harris drained five 3-pointers on his way to 15 points.
The Blue Devils (3–0) showed off both their athleticism and perimeter shooting, connecting early and often from deep. Evans hit two quick 3-pointers in the opening minutes as Duke built a 29–14 lead midway through the first half. By the break, the Blue Devils were in complete control.
Freshman guard Jackson Furman was a bright spot for Army, finishing with 20 points and five 3-pointers, but he received little help as the Black Knights struggled from beyond the arc, shooting just 24.5% (12-for-49).
Sarr energized Duke coming out of halftime, scoring on back-to-back 3-pointers and a highlight-reel dunk that capped an 11–3 run to make it 60–33. The Blue Devils never looked back, shooting an impressive 70% (21-for-30) in the second half and 56.9% (37-for-65) for the game.
Cameron Boozer added 13 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and two blocks, while his twin brother, Cayden, posted 10 points and eight assists as six Blue Devils reached double figures.
Duke’s depth, pace, and unselfish play overwhelmed Army from start to finish, capping a night that honored the program’s connection to its storied past.
