DURHAM, N.C. - Duke (17-3, 4-2), 10th in both the AP poll and ESPN/USA Today coaches poll, faces unranked Boston College (14-5, 6-1) on Sunday at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Tip-off is set for 5:38 p.m. with FSN televising the contest. Former Blue Devil great Shelden Williams will be honored at halftime with a jersey retirement ceremony.

Duke, winner of four straight games, is coming off a dramatic 68-66 win over 19th-ranked Clemson on Thursday. The Tigers overcame a five-point deficit in the final 12 seconds of play, but David McClure’s layup as the buzzer sounded secured the win for the Blue Devils. The victory was Duke’s 20th straight win over Clemson.

Sophomore Josh McRoberts recorded his fourth double-double of the season with 17 points and 12 rebounds. He was 7-of-14 from the field, including 1-of-1 from three-point range. DeMarcus Nelson added 13 points and eight rebounds, while Greg Paulus had 13 points and a team-high five assists.

Freshman Jon Scheyer also reached double-figures with 12 points. The Northbrook, Ill., native also had five rebounds and four assists, including an assist on the game-winning bucket. McClure finished with eight points, six rebounds, one block and a steal in a career-high 34 minutes of action.

Duke led by 11 at the half (36-25) but Clemson’s defense tightened and held the Blue Devils to 33.3 percent (9-of-27) shooting in the second half. Duke overcame the cold shooting by outrebounding the Tigers 40-24, including 17-6 on the offensive glass. The Blue Devils also had a 19-4 edge in second chance points in the win.
