Syracuse Orange at Duke Blue Devils

No. 5 Duke hands No. 1 Syracuse second straight loss

Rodney Hood scored 13 points and drew that game-changing charging call that helped No. 5 Duke beat No. 1 Syracuse 66-60 on Saturday night.

Freshman Jabari Parker had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Blue Devils (22-6, 11-4 Atlantic Coast Conference).

Jerami Grant had 17 points and C.J. Fair, the player who was called for the charge, finished with 13 for the Orange (25-2, 12-2).

"I just thought that was the worst call of the year, that's all," Boeheim said. "I hated to see the game decided on that call."

The first meeting between these teams was an overtime game considered an instant classic. The rematch was just as close but it will be remembered more for Boeheim's exit with 10 seconds to play.

Syracuse had the ball down 60-58 when Fair drove for an apparent tying layup.

"I thought it was a block or a no-call," Fair said. "I don't think there was that much contact, either."

Quinn Cook iced it by hitting three free throws with 10.4 seconds left to make it 63-58.

That helped the Blue Devils bounce back from a loss to hated rival North Carolina less than 48 hours earlier. It meant they avoided their first regular-season losing streak since 2009 and it extended their winning streak at Cameron Indoor Stadium to 31 games.

Star freshman Tyler Ennis finished with nine points on 2-of-13 shooting and he and fellow starting guard Trevor Cooney combined to miss all five of their 3-point attempts for the Orange.

He blew past Tyler Thornton along the left baseline and flipped up a shot that banked in, but Greene blew his whistle and waved it off to call Fair for charging.

That brought Boeheim off the bench and well inside the lines to argue, and when he was tossed, the game was effectively over.

But Ennis followed with a layup and Grant hit a jumper in transition, and things stayed tight until the technical fouls.

Round 1 went to Boeheim earlier this month in a game for the ages, with the Orange claiming a 91-89 victory in overtime after Duke's Rasheed Sulaimon hit a buzzer-beating, tying 3 at the end of regulation before 35,446 fans at the Carrier Dome.

"Another great game. Different from the first one because it seemed like both teams were scoring easy up in Syracuse, and today it was really difficult to score," Krzyzewski said. "I don't know how either team could play any harder."

Syracuse maxed out its lead at nine on a 3-pointer by Duke transfer Michael Gbinije midway through the first half. The Blue Devils rallied to tie it at 26 at the break on Sulaimon's fast-break layup with about a minute left, and it stayed tense the rest of the way.
