After the score was tied at four apiece, Duke used a 25-5 run over the next nine minutes capped by three straight jumpers from Kurz to take a 29-9 lead. The game stayed at about a 20 point lead for Duke until midway through the second half, but Duke outscored Virginia Tech 39-16 over the game's last 12 minutes for a 93-51 victory.
