DUKE MENS BASKETBALL VS Cal Poly Pomona

Duke took a 6point lead into the locker room at halftime against a tough Cal Poly team. A second half scoring frenzy pushed Dukes lead to 31. Dukes head coach Mike Krzyzewski stated during post game press conference-I've told you right from the start, we're going to be a developing team, we're not going to hold anybody scoreless, we are going to be down in games, we are going to look bad, and overall we're going to try to get better." Here are a few photos from the game.
