Syracuse Duke ACC Blue Devils Carrier Dome N.Y. Orange

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — No. 7 Duke delivered an early onslaught of offense that quieted Syracuse’s packed Carrier Dome and moved the Blue Devils closer to locking down the ACC tournament’s top seed.

The Blue Devils hit 11 of their first 12 shots, building a 30-point first-half lead en route to blasting Syracuse, 97-72, in ACC basketball Saturday night before a crowd of 31,803.

Duke had a trio of 20-point scorers as perimeter shooting by freshmen Paolo Banchero and A.J. Griffin and sophomore center Mark Williams’ powerful play inside overwhelmed the Orange (15-14 overall, 9-9 ACC).
