DURHAM – Freshman Paolo Banchero and junior Wendell Moore Jr., combined for 50 points to lead No. 5 Duke to a 107-81 win over The Citadel on Monday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
The Blue Devils (6-0) dished out 25 assists while committing just three turnovers and won their fifth straight game by double-digits. Duke's +22 assist-to-turnover ratio was the second-best mark in a game in program history.
Banchero set career highs with 28 points and six assists to go with eight boards, two steals and no turnovers. Moore also did not surrender the ball in 34 minutes and was just shy of his second triple-double of the season, finishing with 22 points, eight rebounds and nine assists.
Sophomore Mark Williams added 14 points, freshman Trevor Keels had 11 and sophomore Jeremy Roach had 10 for the Blue Devils.
Despite the Blue Devils taking care of the ball and shooting .486 from the floor (36-of-74), The Citadel was able to maintain pace in the first half with a historic performance from three-point range. The Bulldogs (3-2) hit 18-three pointers on the night, the most ever by a visiting team at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Brent Davis went 5-of-6 from deep, while Hayden Brown shot 4-of-5 from long range as each finished with 19 points. Rudy Fitzgibbons III knocked down each of his three three-point attempts for nine points.
After three quick buckets by The Citadel cut its deficit to nine early in the second half, Duke responded with a 10-0 run to break the game open. Banchero had five points in the run, while Moore converted a three-point play on a driving layup.
Duke shot 27-of-29 (.931) from the free throw line, its highest percentage of the season. Senior Joey Baker made each of his seven free throw attempts in a nine-point outing, while Banchero went 6-of-6 from the charity stripe.
The Blue Devils set their sights on Las Vegas, Nev., where they face a top-five test against No. 1 Gonzaga on Friday night at T-Mobile Arena. Tipoff is set for 10:30 p.m. ET (7:30 p.m. local) on ESPN.
