Seny N’Diaye is averaging 12 points and 1 assist, while Floyd Rideau Jr. is averaging 12 points and 1 assist. Justin Bailey is the third double-digit scorer and Jordan Gainey is grabbing 3 rebounds.

The USC Upstate Spartans are a pretty young team, and these are spots where you need leadership to survive the talent gap and the ridiculous crowd. The Duke Blue Devils comfortably won their opener, and they didn’t play all that great if we’re being honest. The only reason to be concerned for Duke here is it’s a look ahead spot with Kansas on deck. Still, give me Duke and whatever the line is once it’s released. South Carolina Upstate just doesn’t have the talent to survive a game like this.
