Cameron Boozer feasts for 35 points in No. 4 Duke's thrilling Thanksgiving win over No. 22 Arkansas

Cameron Boozer is living up to the hype and then some so far.

The hyped Duke freshman torched No. 22 Arkansas for 35 points in Duke's 80-71 win on Thanksgiving night in Chicago at the CBS Sports Thanksgiving Classic.

He also added nine rebounds, three assists and two steals in the memorable all-around performance for the potential No. 1 NBA Draft pick.

Boozer was already off to a hot start this season, averaging 21.1 points and 9.9 rebounds per game coming in, but this was arguably No. 4 Duke's biggest test of the season so far against a John Calipari-coached Arkansas team that also featured a potential NBA lottery pick in Darius Acuff Jr. Challenge accepted for Boozer.

He scored from everywhere, hitting 13 of 18 shots, including 2 of 4 from deep, and he made an impact on both ends. In one sequence late in the first half, he either scored or assisted on seven straight Duke points while also notching a steal and a rebound in that stretch.

And he did that all after not scoring until nearly 10 minutes into the game.

"Coaches talked to me on the sideline, told me to keep going, keep attacking and I came out with some force and started rolling from there," Boozer told CBS after the game.

Duke improves to 7-0 with the win, which marks the first of three straight matchups against ranked opponents. The Blue Devils host No. 10 Florida on Tuesday and travel to East Lansing to face No. 11 Michigan State on Dec. 6.
