The college basketball season isn’t yet underway, but could there be a Final Four preview at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Tuesday night?
Duke is entering a championship-or-bust season with perhaps the deepest team of the Jon Scheyer era, while Tennessee brought in perhaps the nation’s most impressive transfer portal class to re-tool after an Elite Eight appearance.
All eyes are on the young Joaquim Boumtje-Boumtje, who appears to be ahead of his years as he starts his Duke career, but Tennessee’s wealth of experience could make a difference as each contender tries to best position itself for the start of the season.
Here’s a look at the full box score from the exhibition game between Duke and Tennessee.
