Stansberry Leads Western Carolina Against No. 6 Duke After 23-Point Game
Duke aims to refine defensive rotations and offensive flow against Western Carolina after a strong season opener led by Isaiah Evans' 23 points, testing team maturation.
- On Saturday in Durham, No. 6 Duke Blue Devils host Western Carolina as a tune-up after Isaiah Evans' 23-point performance in the 75-60 season opener.
- Western Carolina averaged 69.7 points, shot 39.4% overall, and finished 8 on the road last season, struggling in recent games.
- Scheyer's roster construction emphasizes two-way length and activity on the ball, with Duke Blue Devils holding Texas Longhorns to 27 second-half points and a 31% field-goal mark after the break.
- Expect a decisive result if the Blue Devils sustain defensive intensity, as Duke is heavily favored with a game projection of Duke 92, Western Carolina 58.
- Against WCU, the Blue Devils could expand minutes for Dame Sarr and trial Nik Khamenia as a small-ball four while Jon Scheyer balances immediate wins with lineup evolution after Duke's 35-4 season.
