• Cook's 6-of-10 (.600) shooting performance from beyond the arc extended his consecutive games with a made three-pointer streak to an ACC-leading 44. Cook's 44 straight games with a made three-point field goal is a Duke record. Cook's last game without at least one made three pointer came against Maryland on Feb. 15, 2014.

• With five assists, Cook became the seventh player in Duke history to register 1,000 points and 500 career assists.
• Cook's six made three pointers ties for the second-most in an NCAA Tournament game by a Blue Devil. He owns the record of seven, which he set last year in a game against Mercer March 23, 2014.
On the Offensive End
