DURHAM, N.C. -- Jon Scheyer came off the bench to score a game-high 22 points to lead 13th-ranked Duke to an 86-61 win over visiting New Mexico State at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Monday night.
The Blue Devils improve to 2-0 while the Aggies fall to 0-2. With the victory, Duke extends its streak of consecutive home wins against non-conference opponents to a nation-best 53 games.
After trailing 6-4 early in the game, the Blue Devils used a 12-0 spurt to claim a 16-6 advantage when Taylor King canned a three-pointer at the 14:49 mark. An 11-2 run capped by a jumper from Kyle Singler pushed the Blue Devils ahead by a 27-10 count midway through the first half.
After leading 47-26 at intermission, the Blue Devils extended the lead to 31 points at 61-30 just over six minutes into the second frame.
Scheyer, who scored 13 points in the season-opening win over N.C. Central, was eight-of-11 from the floor including a four-of-six performance from three-point range. DeMarcus Nelson added 14 points while Gerald Henderson and Singler chipped in 11 and 10, respectfully. Greg Paulus registered nine points, eight assists, four steals and four rebounds.
New Mexico State received 16 points and 11 rebounds from Justin Hawkins while Fred Peete scored 13 points with three assists.
Duke next heads to Lahaina, Hawaii, for the EA Sports Maui Invitational. On Monday, November 19 at 9 p.m. (ET), the Blue Devils will face Princeton in the opening round with the remainder of the field including Arizona State, Chaminade, Illinois, LSU, Marquette and Oklahoma State.
