CORAL GABLES — The Hurricanes got out to a quick five-point lead in the opening moments against Duke, and the game never got closer.
Facing off against the Blue Devils in primetime in front of a packed Watsco Center and a variety of sports stars in attendance (including Marlins star Jazz Chisholm and Hall of Famer Rick Barry), Miami blasted its way to a big, early lead and never looked back. The No. 19 Hurricanes sunk Duke (17-7, 8-5 ACC) 81-59, picking up their third straight win and 13th consecutive home victory.
The win was the Hurricanes’ second-largest victory over Duke ever, eclipsed only by a 27-point win Miami notched in 2013.
