Key moment This game got away from Miami at two key points.

First Knueppel and Mason Gillis (12 points) hit 3s to force interim coach Bill Courtney to call timeout, only for Gillis and Knueppel to do it again in reverse order for a 21-8 lead — forcing Courtney to burn a second timeout after only 60 seconds of action.

The Blue Devils later blew it open with a 14-0 run that included another 3 from Gillis and a driving score from Knueppel, which had Courtney burning another timeout down 44-17.

Key stat Duke assisted on 17 of 19 baskets and averaged 1.563 points on its 32 first-half possessions to lead 50-26.

Up next Both teams return to action Saturday. The Hurricanes host SMU while the Blue Devils visit Boston College.
