Duke ends skid with win over in-state rival

No. 20 Duke (15-5, 4-3) traveled to Raleigh to take on the N.C. State Wolfpack (11-9, 1-6) and end its three-game losing skid. Fortunately, the Blue Devils had great games from Brandon Ingram and Grayson Allen to win 88-78. With NCSU leading for most of the game, Duke needed everything it got from those two as they combined for over 50 points with Allen notching seven assists and rebounds and Ingram also had seven boards.

Luke Kennard had 12 points and Marshall Plumlee had 10 points to help the cause. The Blue Devils shot 10-25 from beyond the arc, which helped them get the win in the end and only had nine turnovers for the game. Duke next plays at Miami on Monday night.
