career-high with 12 rebounds, as fourth-ranked Duke topped No. 9 Purdue,
76-60, to remain unbeaten in the history of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Jon
Scheyer also scored 20 and Nolan Smith contributed 12 points for Duke
(8-0), which has won all 10 of its games in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. It's
been a tremendous history of success for Duke against the Big Ten. The Blue
Devils are 62-23 all-time against teams currently in the Big Ten, having won
seven straight such contests. Robbie Hummel had 15 points for Purdue (5-2),
which was coming off an overtime loss in the championship game of the NIT
Season Tip-Off at the hands of Oklahoma. JaJuan Johnson contributed 12
points and E'Twaun Moore netted 10 before fouling out. The Boilermakers, who
were riddled with foul trouble, shot 37.3 percent from the field. That
included a 2-of-13 effort from three-point range.
