Duke Blows By BC And Former Blue Devil Derryck Thornton, 88-49

It didn’t take long for Duke to end any suspense about extending that 3-point streak.

Alex O’Connell knocked down a trey 37 seconds into Duke’s game against Boston College Tuesday night, extending Duke’s streak to 1,072 games with a made 3-pointer.

It didn’t take much longer to end any suspense about the outcome of the game, which Duke won 88-49.

The last time it was close was 12-8 Duke, six minutes into the game. That’s when Duke went on a 7-0 run, holding the Eagles at 8 for 6 minutes.

The short-handed Eagles-their best post player, senior Nick Popovic is out with a back injury--never came close to getting back into the game.
