Duke didn't hold back in its exhibition slate.
After playing a solid UCF program, the Blue Devils matched up with high-powered Tennessee on Sunday night.
Duke went on the road to Knoxville to play the Volunteers, and it came with a high-profile freshman matchup.
Duke's Cameron Boozer and Tennessee's Nate Ament were both ranked as top-five recruits in the country by every major surface, and as two talented power forward types, they got to match up on Sunday night.
Boozer, the son of NBA star Carlos, got the better of the matchup.
The final stats for Boozer:
* 24 points
* 23 rebounds
* 6 assists
* 2 blocks
* 1 steal
* 7-20 FG
* 1-3 3FG
* 9-11 FT

Ament just didn't end up being as good at getting to the line.
The final line for Ament:
* 14 points
* 10 rebounds
* 5-19 FG
* 0-5 3FG
* 4-6 FT
Ament didn't have any assists, steals or blocks.
It's good for these star freshmen to get a matchup like this early, both against one another and also against a top-end opponent. It can only make them better for the regular season.
And when the lights really turn on, expect both Boozer and Ament to shine brightly.
