 DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - DeMarcus Nelson scored 17 points to lead No. 10 Duke past Boston College 75-61 on Sunday. Josh McRoberts had 16 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks for the Blue Devils (18-3, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who have won five straight games since an 0-2 league start. Duke has won the past six meetings, including all three since the Eagles joined the ACC.
Jared Dudley scored 17 points to lead the Eagles (14-6, 6-2), who fell out of first place in the league.
The game was a rematch of last year's ACC tournament championship, with Duke winning both meetings that season by two points. This time, the Blue Devils built a 10-point lead early in the second half and maintained control of the contest by shutting down the Eagles with their pressure defense.
