Duke 88, NC State 78
As a Team
• Duke moved to 15-5 on the season and 4-3 in the conference with Saturday's victory.
• Duke used the starting lineup of Grayson Allen, Luke Kennard, Matt Jones, Brandon Ingram and Marshall Plumlee for the fourth time this season and owns a 2-2 record with those five players on the floor to start the game.
• With 88 points, the Blue Devils have netted 70-or-more points against NC State for the 35th straight game. The last time Duke did not score 70-or-more points against the Wolfpack came Feb. 8, 1998, when Duke defeated NC State, 65-49 in Raleigh.
Coach Krzyzewski's Numbers
• The result moved Krzyzewski's all-time record to 1,033-315 and his record at Duke to 960-256.
• A Krzyzewski-led Duke team moved to 53-22 all-time when facing NC State.
Duke on the Glass
• The Blue Devils brought down 10 offensive rebounds, including six in the first half. Duke's six first half offensive boards tied for the second-most in a conference game this season. The Blue Devils have now collected double-digit offensive rebounds in three straight games, the first time Duke has accomplished such a feat since a three-game stretch against Georgia Southern, Utah and Elon.
• Duke collected 15 rebounds in the first half, the second-lowest number of boards to open a game against a conference team this year. The Blue Devils concluded the game with 31 rebounds, the fewest since bringing down the same amount of rebounds against Long Beach State.
• Graduate student Marshall Plumlee collected six offensive rebounds, his third straight game with five-or-more rebounds on the offensive end of the floor.
Allen's Contributions
• Sophomore Grayson Allen scored double-digit points for the ninth straight game and the 18th time this season after netting 28 points on 11-of-17 (.647) shooting. Duke moved to 20-3 all-time when Allen scores 10-or-more points in a game.
• Allen's 11 made field goals are a career high.
• Allen dished a career-high seven assists while committing just one turnover in the contest.
Duke's Defense
• NC State shot 6-of-9 (.667) from beyond the arc in the first half, the second straight game a Duke opponent shot 66.7 percent from beyond the arc in the opening half of a game. In the second half, Duke allowed the Wolfpack to shoot just 2-of-12 (.167) from beyond the arc, tied for the second-lowest three-point field goal percentage by a team in the second half of a game this year.
Duke on the Offensive End
• The Blue Devils scored 52 second-half points, the third-most second-half points scored by the Blue Devils this season.
• Duke shot 7-of-11 (.636) from beyond the arc in the second half, the team's second-best second-half shooting performance from beyond the arc this year.
Fresh Faces
• Freshman Brandon Ingram posted his 13th straight double-digit scoring game after netting 25. Ingram became the ninth freshman in program history to record eight-or-more games with 20-or-more points.
• Ingram extended his streak of games with two-or-more made three pointers to 13 after shooting 4-of-6 (.667) from beyond the arc.
• Ingram has posted three games with 10-or-more made field goals this season. Duke is 3-0 in those contests.
