Thursday’s match-up pitting #2 Duke and #15 Belmont was your classic David vs. Goliath-type of game; Duke has won 3 NCAA titles, while Belmont has never won a tournament game in their history.? In this tilt, Goliath barely prevailed, as Duke escaped with a narrow 71-70 victory over Belmont in the NCAA West regional at Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.? Duke’s high scorer was Gerald Henderson with 21 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 steals, while from off the bench, Jon Scheyer scored 13 with 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals.? Belmont was led by Alex Renfroe with 15 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal, while Matthew Dotson and Andy Wicke each scored 14 – with Dotson grabbing 4 rebounds, dishing out 2 assists with a steal, while Wicke grabbed a rebound and?dishing out an assist.? Duke will now face the winner of the West Virginia-Arizona game on Saturday.?
