DURHAM, N.C. — No. 17 Duke turned in a workmanlike performance to open its ACC basketball schedule with a resounding win Saturday.
Pushing the ball inside to exploit a height advantage, the Blue Devils led by as many as 15 points in the first half on the way to a 75-59 win over Boston College at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
While freshman Mark Mitchell led the balanced Blue Devils (8-2, 1-0 ACC) with 15 points, the 6-8 forward scored 13 of them in the second half when Duke never saw its lead fall below 10 points.
