Overview
- Cameron Boozer delivered 22 points and 12 rebounds for his 14th double-double as Duke shot 62.3% from the field and 12-of-20 from three.
- An 11-0 surge to end the first half and a blistering 13-for-14 start after halftime quickly put the game out of reach.
- The 37-point defeat was Syracuse’s worst loss to an ACC opponent since joining the conference.
- Duke improved to 24-2 overall and 13-1 in the ACC, remaining unbeaten at Cameron Indoor this season; Syracuse fell to 15-12 and 6-8.
- Pre-game models forecast a large Duke margin while Kalshi traders expected a closer contest, a mismatch underscored by the rout; next up is Duke vs. No. 1 Michigan and Syracuse hosting No. 16 North Carolina.
