 WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - Duke coach Gail Goestenkors had to rant and rave to get the top-ranked Blue Devils out of their funk. Fueled by Goestenkors' tirade early in the second half, Duke overcame its sputtering offense to remain the nation's only unbeaten team with a 77-45 win over Wake Forest on Sunday.
Lindsey Harding and Joy Cheek scored 13 points apiece and Wanisha Smith added 11 for the Blue Devils (26-0, 11-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who beat the Demon Deacons for the 30th consecutive time.
Three days after knocking off archrival and No. 2 North Carolina in an emotional battle of unbeatens, the Blue Devils looked sluggish for more than a half against the last-place Demon Deacons. Duke shot a season-low 34 percent and made only 5 of 17 3-pointers.
