A 57-43 win over Notre Dame in South Bend on Monday!

The 43 points allowed marked the fewest Duke has given up to an ACC opponent since a 68-40 victory against Clemson on Jan. 8, 2013.

Though shooting at just a 39.4 percent clip offensively, the Blue Devils outrebounded Notre Dame 51-36. In addition to Banchero, Griffin and John's nine boards apiece, sophomore Mark Williams brought down eight while junior Wendell Moore Jr., had five. Williams also recorded three blocked shots – the 18th game this season with multiple blocks for the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year candidate.

The game was the makeup of a Jan. 1 contest postponed due to health and safety protocols in the Duke program. Notre Dame led just once at 2-0, before Duke scored the next seven points and gradually increased their lead against the Irish, who were held to 18.8 percent shooting in the first half. Notre Dame closed the deficit to four, 18-14, on a pair of Atkinson dunks, but Duke finished on a 9-0 run to lead at halftime 27-14.

Duke doubled the score to 40-20 on a Banchero dunk with 14:42 to play and was in control the rest of the way.

A 90-83 overtime win over Louisville in Louisville Kentucky on Tuesday!

In North Carolina’s 90-83 overtime win over Louisville Armando Bacot scored 19 points, collected 22 rebounds Leaky Black's 3-pointer with 2:10 left in the extra session broke an 81-all tie and North Carolina led the rest of the way.

The final 1:10 was highlighted by a pair of technical fouls against Louisville that led to four made foul shots for North Carolina to seal the win.

Jae'Lyn Withers was whistled for a dead ball contact technical foul when officials ruled he shoved Bacot to the floor after the whistle blew when Bacot and Louisville's Matt Cross got tied up for a loose ball with 1:10 left. Caleb Love sank the technicals for an 86-81 Carolina lead.

Noah Locke responded with two foul shots for the Cardinals with 59 seconds to go to reduce the deficit to three. North Carolina turned it over, and on the Cardinal's ensuing possession, Cross' deep, straight-on 3 attempt hit the rim and ricocheted to the left baseline. On the bounce, however,

Louisville's Syndey Curry was called for an offensive foul boxing out Bacot. In his irate response, Cardinals interim head coach Mike Pegues was called for a technical foul upon slamming his hand on the scorer's table.

Love then sank two technical foul shots and Bacot made 1 of 2 foul shots for the whistle drawn on Curry for an 89-83 advantage. Love made 1 of 2 with five seconds to go for the game's final margin.

In regulation, after Bacot threw down a dunk to give North Carolina a 55-45 lead with 12:35 remaining, Louisville went on a shooting spree when El Ellis sank three 3s' and Cross another to give Louisville a 57-55 advantage. Neither team led by more than four points to end regulation.

Withers came up with spectacular block on R.J. Davis' wide-open layup attempt to send it to overtime tied at 74.

Ellis scored a career-high 25 points with a career-high five 3s for Louisville.

Pegues took over the Cardinals last week for the second time this season after coach Chris Mack and the school agreed to part ways.

Pegues guided Louisville to a 5-1 start while Mack was suspended and began his second stint with a 74-65 loss to No. 9 Duke on Saturday.

Louisville was without leading scorer and rebounder Malik Williams (10 ppg and 8.7 rpg) due to what Pegues described as an "indefinite" suspension. On his radio show on Monday night, Pegues called the undisclosed suspension "one game for now."
