Here’s a recent college basketball story via the Associated Press:
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Isaiah Evans scored 21 points and had a critical 3-pointer with 1:15 left to help No. 6 Duke beat No. 24 SMU 82-75 on Saturday.
Evans slipped to the left sideline for a 3-pointer by freshman Cam Boozer to make it 76-70, a repeat of the play that sent Duke past Florida when it reached No. 3 here in December.
Patrick Ngongba II tied his career high in scoring with 17 points for Duke (15-1, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), while Boozer had 18 points — including a layup of his own to give Duke a 73-68 lead shortly before Evans’ big shot.
Duke shot 49% to win its 25th straight home game.
Jaden Toombs had 23 points on 10-for-12 shooting to lead the Mustangs (12-4, 1-2), who began the week by climbing into the AP Top 25 poll for the first time since the end of the 2016-17 season before losing at Clemson on Wednesday.
The Mustangs had to play this game without leading scorer Boopie Moller, a 20.6 point scorer who was a mid-game decision due to illness.
But SMU scored the first 11 points and kept Duke busy all day, shooting 56.6% and getting within one possession three times in the final 4 1/2 minutes. Turnovers were the Mustangs’ biggest problem; they had 21, leading to 21 points for the Blue Devils.
At halftime, Duke commemorated the 25th anniversary of the 2001 NCAA Championship when former NBA players Shane Battier, Carlos Boozer, Mike Dunleavy and Jay Williams joined Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski at midcourt during the presentation. Boozer’s twins, Cam and Cayden, both play for Duke.
