- Duke is now 7-0 for the third time in the last four years and for the 15th time in 28 seasons under Coach K.
- Duke has now won 55 straight non-conference home games, the longest streak in the NCAA. Duke last lost at home to a non-ACC opponent on Feb. 26, 2000, an 83-82 decision against St. John's. In that span, Duke has now defeated four ranked teams, counting the Badgers.
- Duke has now defeated two consecutive ranked teams, also topping No. 10 Marquette, 77-73 in the final of the Maui Invitational.

- Duke hit 11-of-24 from behind the arc, the second straight game Duke has hit 10-plus three-pointers and the Blue Devils have accomplished that feat three times this season.

- Senior DeMarcus Nelson scored nine points, added seven rebounds and a career-high seven assists. He also had three steals and two blocks in 34 minutes of action.
- Nelson became the second guard in Duke history (Quin Snyder) to record multiple points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks in the same game more than once. Nelson also accomplished the feat against Columbia on Nov. 12, 2006. All-time, it marks the 121st time from 38 players this has happened.
