Mike Krzyzewski:
• Mike Krzyzewski, who became the NCAA's all-time winningest coach with a 74-69 win over Michigan State last Tuesday, moved into sole possession of fourth place in career wins at one school. Krzyzewski, who has won 831 games during his 32 seasons at Duke, moved past Jim Phelan who won 830 games at Mount St. Mary's. Jim Boeheim of Syracuse ranks third with 859 career victories.
Team Notes:
• Duke extended its NCAA-leading home court win streak to 39 consecutive games. Duke has not lost in Cameron Indoor Stadium since Feb. 11, 2009.
• Duke started 4-0 for the eighth consecutive season and the 21st time under head coach Mike Krzyzewski.
• The Blue Devils improved to 88-17 all-time against Davidson and extended a 23-game winning streak against the Wildcats. Duke is now 23-1 against Davidson under Krzyzewski.
• Duke won its 89th consecutive home game against a non-conference team.
• For the first time this season, Duke used a different starting lineup. The Blue Devils used the starting quintet of Seth Curry, Andre Dawkins, Ryan Kelly, Mason Plumlee and Austin Rivers. The start was the first of the season for Kelly.
• For the third time this season, Duke had at least four players score in double figures with Austin Rivers (17 points), Seth Curry (17), Mason Plumlee (16) and Miles Plumlee (10) all reaching 10+ points. Duke has had at least three players score 10 or more points in every game this year.
• Duke trailed 33-27 with 3:10 remaining in the first half, but scored seven consecutive points to take a 34-33 lead. Austin Rivers scored four of those points on a pair of driving layups.
• The Blue Devils held the Wildcats scoreless over a 3:40 span (starting at 17:07) during the second half. Duke scored 14 straight points during that run to turn a 41-41 tie into a 53-41 lead. That uninterrupted 14-point run is the longest of the season.
• Davidson shot 35.5 percent from the floor in the second half. That is the second lowest shooting percentage by a Duke opponent in a half this season, trailing only the 29.0 percent that Presbyterian shot in the second half on November 12.
• Duke attempted only three three-pointers in the first half. Duke had attempted at least four treys in every half last season.
• Duke committed just five turnovers in the second half.
