It’s hard to find a slice of history in a program with five national championships to its name, but Jared McCain managed to do just that on Saturday afternoon in Tallahassee.
The first-year guard scored 35 points against Florida State during Duke’s 76-67 victory, tied for the most by a freshman in a single game in program history. His explosive outing was powered by a near-perfect first half in which he scored 25 points on 9/10 shooting and 7/8 from beyond the arc.
McCain looked unconscious for most of the afternoon, backpedaling behind the 3-point line in transition and firing long balls even with a hand in his face.
With McCain tying a Duke record, here’s a glimpse back at the seven most productive games from first-year Blue Devils.
