The Mississippi State transfer played all 40 minutes, scoring a season-high 30 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the field and 12-of-12 from the free throw line. He also grabbed five rebounds, leading Duke to an 83-74 victory. Hood showed he could be a reliable scorer down the stretch of close games, and would go on to knock down the game-winning free throws in the Blue Devils' 91-90 win against Vermont in his next game.2) Jan. 27, 2014 at. Pittsburgh: Although Hood's offensive performance was not spectacular by his standards, the Meridian Miss. native's defensive performance sparked Duke's first big road win of the season. Hood held Pittsburgh's best playmaker and scorer, Lamar Patterson, to 14 points on 4-of-14 shooting, disrupting the Panther offense and allowing his teammates to maintain traditional defensive assignments. He also scored 13 points on 5-of-10 shooting, including three 3-pointers, and added three rebounds and four assists, turning in one of his most complete performances of the season. The Blue Devils won 80-65.1) March 8, 2014 vs. North Carolina: Hood turned in a special performance in his final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium, scoring 24 points on 8-of-13 shooting, including three 3-pointers and a perfect 5-of-5 performance from the free throw line.

Stauskas finished with just four points and only had two shot attempts for the game. In addition to his stellar defensive performance, Thornton knocked down two 3-pointers to collect six points. He also grabbed two boards and handed out one assist. 2) Feb. 22, 2014 vs. Syracuse: As has been the case throughout his career, Thornton helped swing a game's momentum with his energy on defense.

Thornton also added eight points, making both of his field goals and going 3-of-4 from the free throw line, and had three assists.1) Feb. 1, 2014 at Syracuse: Although Thornton's solid performance against the Orange at Cameron Indoor Stadium was a deciding factor in Duke's victory, his heroics three weeks prior provided his best highlights of the season.
