Duke's Jayson Tatum: Scores 15 in what's likely final collegiate appearance
Tatum had 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 34 minutes before foulding out of Sunday's NCAA Tournament loss to South Carolina.
Analysis:
Tatum had a few clutch three-point buckets to answer several big South Carolina shots, but he and the Blue Devils ultimately couldn't keep pace against a team that was simply on fire in the second half. It's a tough way to end a collegiate career, as Tatum is likely one-and-done at Duke as a projected NBA lottery pick. He'll finish the year with averages of 16.8 points and 7.3 rebounds across 29 games played.
