Kelly returned to the Duke lineup following a 13-game
absence with a right foot injury to lead the Blue Devils to a 79-76 win over
No. 5 Miami on Saturday at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Raleigh, N.C., native
scored a career-best 36 points on 10-of-14 shooting from the field, including
7-of-9 from three-point range, and 9-of-12 from the free throw line. He also
added seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 32 minutes of
action. Kelly had been sidelined since January 8 and just returned to the court
in limited capacity on Monday.
Kelly’s 36 points were the most by a Blue Devil at Cameron
Indoor Stadium since J.J. Redick had 38 points against Wake Forest on February
20, 2005.
Carter averaged 13.5 points and 7.0 rebounds and shot 50
percent from the floor in Georgia Tech’s two games last week, a 78-68 victory
over Maryland and a 70-57 loss to NC State. The 6-8 Thomasville, Ga., freshman
recorded his fourth double-double of the season in lifting Tech to the victory
against the Terps, scoring 19 points with 10 rebounds, hitting 7 of 11 shots
from the floor, and 4-for-4 from the foul line while adding two assists and two
blocked shots. In Sunday’s game against NC State, Carter had eight points, four
rebounds, two assists and three blocked shots.
On the season, Carter is second among ACC freshmen in
rebounds per game (6.8) and tied for fifth in scoring (10.0).
