Freshman Mark Mitchell had a team-high 18 points for the Blue Devils Duke used a 25-4 run spanning halftime to blow this game open. The Blue Devils led by 16 at halftime and pushed that margin to 25 points by midway through the second half. The 35-year-old Scheyer has taken over for retired Hall of Fame mentor Mike Krzyzewski.
