Jared McCain makes 8 3s, scores 30 points as Duke ends James Madison’s March Madness run

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Sixteen seconds into the game, Jared McCain took a kick-out pass from Kyle Filipowski, swished a 3 from the wing and smiled toward the raucous section of James Madison fans as if to say, better get used to this. McCain scored 22 of his 30 points in the first half and set a Duke record for an NCAA Tournament game with eight 3-pointers as the Blue Devils ended 12th-seeded James Madison’s dream season with a 93-55 second-round victory Sunday. “You’re not going to score 93 points every game, but I do think our offense was a lot better in these two games,” he said. “I wasn’t really conscious out there.” McCain finished the half with two long-range misses to break the streak, but nearly matched JMU’s point total with 22 points on 7-for-11 shooting. SWEET TRIO The North Carolina “Triangle” region that is home to the Blue Devils, North Carolina and North Carolina State will have all three schools reach the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2015.
