Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Duke Blue Devils

Grayson Allen scores 27 as No. 3 Duke rolls past Wake Forest

Just never this one.

Grayson Allen scored a season-best 27 points, and Duke routed Wake Forest 94-51 on Wednesday night for its 10th straight win.

Matt Jones added 17 points for the Blue Devils (27-3, 14-3), who shot 58 percent and forced 19 turnovers in locking up the No. 2 seed in next week's Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.

Duke had a double-figure lead before the Demon Deacons managed their first basket, scoring the first 12 points and rolling to their 16th straight home victory in the ACC's oldest series.

Codi Miller-McIntyre scored 20 points for Wake Forest (13-17, 5-12), which has lost four of five.

Quinn Cook had 13 points in his Cameron Indoor Stadium farewell and Justise Winslow also had 13.

The Blue Devils didn't need much from him at all.

Okafor has been the biggest name in a gifted freshman class of possible one-and-dones that also includes Winslow and Tyus Jones. One of those three has led the team in scoring in 21 of the first 29 games.

And then Allen got hot and upstaged everyone.

"He kills," Okafor said of Allen in practice.

"Aggressive, freak athlete, strong guy," he added. "He had no fear when he's on the court."

"From that moment, I kind of knew I was feeling it a little bit," Allen said.

His free throw with 58.5 seconds before the break put Duke up by 30 at 45-15 and led the Cameron Crazies to chant "Grayson's winning."

The other four-pointer came when Tyus Jones banked in a 3 at the buzzer through contact from Madison Jones, then hit the following free throw to make it 52-15.

Tyus Jones finished with 10 points.

"It's a simple game to talk about," coach Danny Manning said. "Duke came out with a lot of energy and a lot of effort ... and we had a very disappointing showing."

COURTSIDE:

Wake Forest: This marked the Demon Deacons' fifth consecutive loss at Cameron by at least 18 points.
