We were not able to make it to Countdown to Craziness, but as usual, it was a hit. You can see the player introduction here and there was a bonus as Jayson Tatum was also introduced after the current team came out. Tatum is rehabbing from his Achilles injury and his return to Cameron was a nice touch and a very cool nod to the power of the Brotherhood. We\u2019re not sure what this is about exactly, buy Jon Scheyer said that Tatum \u201cwill be helping Duke out\u201d this year.<\/p>\n
The other stuff is fun, but the best part of the night is the scrimmage.<\/p>\n

The White team was\u00a0Cameron and Cayden Boozer, Dame Sarr, Iffy Ufochukwu and Darren Harris while the Blue team was Caleb Foster, Isaiah Evans, Patrick Ngongba II, Sebastian Wilkins and Nikolas Khamenia.<\/p>\n
Not surprisingly, the Blue team, the more experienced team, won 34-24. The defense was better than the offense, which is also not surprising and really good. Not many guys shot that well, but Patrick Ngongba was 3-3 and Nik Khamenia shot 3-4.<\/p>\n
Blue dominated the boards, 15-8. White only got one offensive rebound, and that one was by Ufochukwu.<\/p>\n
There were certainly some jitters by the young players, but that\u2019s nothing new. It\u2019s a big deal to play in Cameron but it takes some getting used to the huge adrenaline rush.<\/p>\n

All in all though, we saw a deep Duke team, and this was without Maliq Brown, who will be sitting out a bit longer.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll get a better idea of what this team has when Johnny Dawkins becomes the next great to return to Cameron, bringing his Central Florida team north on October 21st.<\/p>\n
