Fairfield Stags at Duke Blue Devils
· COACHES vs CANCER CLASSIC59 - 109
Duke scores 100 points in 2nd straight game for first time since '10
"One of our main things is sharing the ball," preseason All-American Jahlil Okafor said. "Everybody's eating right now."
Freshman Justise Winslow scored 18 points in Duke's 109-59 rout of Fairfield on Saturday night in its second game of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic.
Okafor and Quinn Cook each scored 17 for the Blue Devils (2-0).
Amile Jefferson finished with 15 points to help Duke score 100 points in consecutive games for the first time since the Kyrie Irving-led team in November 2010.
In two exhibition games and two in the regular season, Duke has yet to have a scorer reach 20 points.
Marcus Gilbert had 15 points for Fairfield (1-1) before fouling out with 6:22 remaining.
The competition gets much tougher next time out: No. 18 Michigan State awaits Tuesday night in the Champions Classic in Indianapolis.
This was an eight-point game with less than 3 minutes remaining before halftime, before Duke's decisive run came.
"We let up a couple times and we let their best player (Gilbert) get going," Cook said, adding that coach Mike Krzyzewski "got after us and we responded well."
And not surprisingly, Okafor played a key role in getting it going.
The freshman star scored 19 points in his debut and has missed only three shots during his brief college career.
He assisted on the first bucket of the burst and followed with layups about a minute apart to really get the run going. Winslow then hit an alley-oop layup from Cook with about 3 seconds before the break to make it 44-30.
Cook hit two 3s in the first 5 minutes of the second half before Marshall Plumlee capped it with a free throw that made it 66-38 with 13:43 to play, and it was all Duke after that.
