BOSTON (AP) Paolo Banchero scored 16 points and had 14 rebounds and No. 7 Duke pulled away midway into the second half for a 72-61 victory over Boston College on Saturday.
Wendell Moore Jr. added 14 points, Trevor Keels had 13, and AJ Griffin and Mark Williams each had 10 for the Blue Devils (21-4, 11-3 Atlantic Coast Conference).
James Karnik led BC (9-14, 4-9) with 21 points and nine boards, DeMarr Langford finished with 16 points and Makai Ashton-Langford had 10 points and seven rebounds.
With former Duke star Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics sitting behind the Blue Devils' bench, and Celtics president Brad Stevens seated across courtside in a sold-out Conte Forum, the Eagles surprisingly kept it a two-possession game for most of the opening half.
