DURHAM, N.C. -- Grayson Allen scored 28 points and No. 5 Duke routed Louisville 82-56 on Wednesday night.
Freshman big man Wendell Carter Jr. finished with 18 points and a season-high five assists, and Gary Trent Jr. had 11 points to help the Blue Devils (23-5, 11-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) win their fourth straight game -- all coming with star freshman Marvin Bagley III out with a sprained knee.
Ray Spalding scored 17 points, and V.J. King and Deng Adel had 10 apiece for Louisville (18-10, 8-7), playing for the first time since an NCAA panel upheld sanctions against the program in the wake of its embarrassing sex scandal -- which cost the school about $600,000 in tournament revenue, 123 victories and its most recent national championship.
