Duke shot 10-for-29 in the second half but repeatedly beat the Spartans in transition and held them scoreless for stretches of 6:05 and 5:27.

The Blue Devils forced 30 turnovers and the Spartans shot 18-for-52 from the field. Duke used a 16-2 run midway through the first half to turn a one-point game into a 26-11 lead.

Schweitzer was 7-of-21 from the field, including 1-for-5 from 3-point range.

Rochelle Parent had 11 rebounds and two blocks to help the Blue Devils control the boards.
