When the halftime buzzer sounded in Cameron Indoor Stadium on Saturday afternoon, the Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens had made seven shots from the field. So had Ryan Kelly. Mason Plumlee had 15 points. Delaware had 19. If the 23-point margin after the game’s first 20 minutes wasn’t enough of an indication as to how this game was going to end up, senior walk on Todd Zafirovski’s layup with 1:24 left in the game should have driven the point home. It was the senior’s first made field goal in three years and was one of any number of things that went right for the country’s 2nd-ranked team. Relive one of the more feel good victories for a Duke team I can remember in a while through the highlights below.
