Duke 62-54, END OF GAME: And that's a wrap. Duke misses 7-of-12 free throws in the final minute but gets enough rebounds to prevent Tennessee from getting back in the game. Back with postgame later.
With four games left in the conference schedule, Duke will need some help to win the ACC regular season championship.
After dropping to second place in the ACC with a disappointing overtime loss to Florida State Thursday, No. 4 Duke moved back into a tie for the league lead Monday by taking care of business at home against Boston College and receiving help from an unlikely source.
Before the afternoon clash with Maryland, Cameron Indoor Stadium took a moment of silence to honor the lives of Bill Werber and Kay Yow, who both passed away within the past week.
SECOND HALF, Duke 65-51, 1:59 remaining: He may be an undersized 5, but there's no denying that Dave McClure can play defense. His block on Zachary Peacock, who has given the Blue Devils trouble all night, got the Duke bench up and cheering. Keep in mind, McClure gives up a few inches and about 30 pounds on Peacock.

DUKE 68-65, FINAL: And the Blue Devils hang on. Thomas made two more free throws, and Toliver couldn't get a last second three off in time. It is Duke's second consecutive victory over the Terrapins and first in the regular season since 2007.
POSTGAME THOUGHTS: An unfortunate recorder malfunction will prevent me from posting any quotes immediately, but suffice to say the feeling from the Duke locker room was that of exhilaration. While any team will say that they never underestimate their opponent, it's clear that the Blue Devils weren't prepared for this kind of offensive firepower from the Trojans. USC moved the ball incredibly well and Duke was lucky to emerge with a victory after digging themselves a late second-half hole. Nevertheless, after losing a tight battle to Hartford on the road early in the season and eking out a win against Western Kentucky, the Blue Devils have to be pleased with the way they fought back away from home.
LOS ANGELES — The Blue Devils ended their season on a disappointing note, getting routed by the Bruins 6-1 as they lost in the national quarterfinals for the second straight year.
In light of yesterday's historic election, Mike Krzyzewski began Wednesday's Lenoir-Rhyne press conference with a comically political statement as a push to increase attendance in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
FIRST QUARTER, Wake Forest-7, Duke-0 12:07 Well, it definitely wasn't the start that the Blue Devils were looking for. Jabari Marshall fumbled the opening kickoff return and the Demon Deacons recovered at Duke's 22 yard line. It took just six plays for Wake Forest to punch in the score on a Riley Skinner QB sneak from the one-yard line. The Blue Devil run defense did not look good as running back Brandon Pendergrass gashed Duke for 17 yards on just three attempts.
POSTGAME THOUGHTS:
While the talk of Koskinen Stadium Thursday night was North Carolina's 3-0 win over Duke, the Blue Devils still scored one victory on the night.
Duke's season may be over, but seniors Amanda Blumenherst and Jennie Lee and incoming freshman Mina Harigae hit the links once more this morning on the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland for the Curtis Cup. The tournament is held every two years and pits female American amateur golfers against their counterparts from Great Britain and Ireland.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- The Blue Devils made their run, and though the four-peat eluded them, Duke's Amanda Blumenherst made history of her own by capturing her third consecutive National Player of the Year award.
Jon Scheyer doesn’t believe in regret.
When I decided to come to Duke, I convinced myself that my choice had nothing to do with basketball or any other sport. Even though I was a lifelong sports fan, I wasn’t choosing a college to develop a new rooting interest.
The fourth quarter has not been smooth sailing for the Blue Devils this season.
GREENSBORO, N.C. — Harrison Barnes knew that the Blue Devils would be gunning for him Sunday after the freshman dropped 40 points in a record-breaking performance in the ACC semifinals.
It hasn’t been a picture-perfect start to the season for Duke.
