The Duke Blue Devils earned their second win of the NCAA Tournament Saturday night, dispatching the TCU Horned Frogs to advance to the Sweet 16.
Although he didn't score as much against TCU as he did against Siena, Cayden Boozer still provided a steady presence on both ends of the floor, finishing with nine points on 50 percet shooting from the field and dishing out five assists. He also led the team in minutes, with 36 out of 40 total minutes played.
Following the game, head coach Jon Scheyer spoke about Boozer's impact towards the end of the season, a breakout that began during the ACC Tournament.
"The thing I love about Cayden is he understands what it takes to win," the coach said. "It's been his scoring the last couple games for us, and tonight we just needed him to run the show. He was very patient, very efficient. Last two games he has 10 assists, 2 turnovers. (...) And then he's guarding. He's just impacting the game in a whole bunch of different ways."
Spending the majority of the season as a sixth man off the bench, Boozer has shown why he is so valuable for the Blue Devils since Caleb Foster's injury in the regular-season finale against UNC.
Moving forward, Boozer and the Blue Devils will now await either Kansas or St. John's in the Sweet 16.
