Notes: Ohio State 85, Duke 63

Team Notes:

•    The loss was Duke's first to a top-10 team since Jan. 30, 2010, against Georgetown. It was Duke's first loss to a top-five opponent since March 8, 2009, against North Carolina.
•    Duke hit just one of its first eight three-point attempts and shot just 3-of-15 (20.0 percent) from the three-point line for the game. That was Duke's fewest three-pointers in a game and lowest three-point percentage since a 3-of-17 (.176) performance against California in the 2010 NCAA Tournament.
•    Ohio State shot 8-of-14 (57.1 percent) from the three-point line, which was the highest three-point percentage by a Duke opponent this year. None of Duke's opponents had shot over .350 from beyond the arc this season.
•    Ohio State logged a .593 field goal percentage, hitting 35-of-59 shots from the floor. That is the highest field goal percentage by a Duke opponent this season. Ohio State's 85 points were also the most allowed by Duke this season.
•    Duke allowed two 20-point scorers for the first time since Jan. 30, 2011, when St. John's had two players both reach 20 points. Only three players have scored 20 points against Duke this year: Ohio State's Jared Sullinger (21) and William Buford (20) and Michigan State's Keith Appling (22).
•    Ohio State opened the game with an 11-0 run, but the Blue Devils countered by outscoring the Buckeyes 12-2 over a span of 3:29 to cut the deficit to one point. Duke shot 5-of-6 during that span with five points from Austin Rivers, four points from Mason Plumlee and three from Seth Curry.
