R.J. Barrett and Zion Williamson once again proved a potent 1-2 punch as Duke rolled a Canadian opponent.
The 6-foot-7 Barrett went for 35 points, 9 boards and 3 assists on 15-of-25 shooting and Williamson had 24 points, 8 rebounds and 2 steals as Duke rolled Toronto, 96-60, on Friday night.
The projected No. 1 pick in 2019, Barrett had gone for 34 in Wednesday’s win over Ryerson, while Williamson scored 29.
“It’s just being competitive,” Barrett said after the game, according to the Canadian Press. “I think I am really good. I think I belong here. So just competing, really.”
