Overview
- Cameron Boozer’s raised elbow struck David Punch in the face during the first half, leaving Punch with a bloody nose.
- Officials did not call a foul initially but, after review, assessed a Flagrant 1 that kept Boozer in the game.
- With Punch receiving treatment, a TCU teammate took the awarded free throws before Punch returned to the bench.
- CBS rules analyst Gene Steratore said on the broadcast the elbow did not feel overly excessive.
- Boozer later picked up a second personal foul and sat the rest of the half, which ended with Duke leading 38-34.
