Freshman Cameron Boozer Scores 35 Points in Duke Victory!

URGENT UPDATE: Freshman sensation Cameron Boozer has taken the college basketball world by storm, scoring 35 points in just his fourth game, propelling the fourth-ranked Duke Blue Devils to a dominating 100-62 victory over Indiana State on Friday night.

This remarkable performance ties Boozer for the second-most points scored by a Duke freshman in a single game, only behind Cooper Flagg, who netted 42 points against Notre Dame last season. Coach Jon Scheyer praised Boozer’s competitive spirit, stating, “Just his approach, he’s such a competitor.”

Boozer now shares the spotlight with other Duke legends, including Zion Williamson and Jared McCain, who also scored 35 points in their freshman seasons. His tally surpasses that of notable Blue Devils like Marvin Bagley III and JJ Redick, who had 34 points in their respective first seasons.

“When I’m focusing on the right things like defense, rebounding, pressuring the ball, the other things naturally happen,” Boozer reflected after the game. He showcased impressive efficiency, making 13 of 16 shots from the field, including both of his attempts from beyond the arc. Although he struggled slightly at the free-throw line, going 7-for-11, Coach Scheyer noted, “I don’t know how you could be more efficient.”

Boozer also led the team with 12 rebounds and 5 assists, dominating the paint against the smaller Sycamores. Teammate Caleb Foster added, “He gets it down in the paint, he’s going to attack the rim, it’s hard to stop him.”

As Boozer gears up for a highly anticipated matchup against No. 25 Kansas on Tuesday night in New York, he is averaging an impressive 22.5 points per game this season. Coach Scheyer expressed his hopes for Boozer to become even more aggressive in scoring, highlighting his character and playmaking ability. “I actually want him to be more aggressive with his scoring,” Scheyer stated.

This performance not only cements Boozer’s place among Duke’s all-time greats but also sets the stage for what could be a thrilling season ahead. Fans are eagerly awaiting his next move as he continues to make headlines in the world of college basketball.
