Duke (16-2, 5-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) played its second full game in a row without freshman point guard Tre Jones, who sustained a separated shoulder last week in an overtime loss to Syracuse.

Capel was assessed a technical foul in the final minute of the opening half on what became a three-point possession for Duke.

Duke forward Javin DeLaurier missed his only first-half shot. That ended his streak of 19 consecutive made field goals, one short of an ACC record. DeLaurier ended the night 0 of 2 from the floor and finished with two points.
