Two undefeated teams clash as the No. 1 Duke Blue Devils (4-0) take on the California Golden Bears in the 2k Empire Classic tournament, at Madison Square Garden, in New York City.
Duke has started the season on fire, on the backs of freshmen (Cassius Stanley, Vernon Carey Jr., and Matthew Hurt) and their star sophomore point guard Tre Jones—who leads the Blues Devils in points and assists.
Cal sophomore guard Matt Bradley is averaging 21.3 points per contest, up from 10.8 last season. He’s also hitting three 3-pointers per game on 52.9 percent three-point shooting in his breakout season. The Bears will have to get as many switches off for Bradley off Jones as possible, to max out his effectiveness.
However, the Golden Bears rank No. 3 nationally in 3-point shooting efficiency at 47.1 percent—which will be handy in their uphill task in trying to play over the top of Duke’s vaunted defense.
