No. 3 ranked Duke University men's basketball team is set to return to action against Lipscomb on December 16 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Duke, led by coach Jon Scheyer who is approaching his 100th win, faces a Lipscomb team that is currently 6-4 under first-year head coach Kevin Carroll. Lipscomb, from the ASUN Conference, has experienced mixed results this season, including a blowout loss to Vanderbilt and a win over Marshall. The Bisons feature size with players like 6-11 senior Grant Asman, who averages 13.7 points and 6.4 rebounds, and other key contributors such as Mateo Esmeraldo, Ross Candelino, and Titas Sargiunas. Despite their size, Lipscomb struggles with shooting, with a team shooting percentage of 44% and poor three-point shooting at 23% against Vanderbilt. Duke's team, featuring standout Cameron Boozer and emerging players like Patrick Ngongbo, Caleb Foster, and others, is favored to win, especially after coming off an exam break which often makes teams vulnerable to upsets. The game will be broadcast on the ACC Network. Duke aims to extend its winning streak and improve its record as it prepares for the upcoming challenges in the season.
