Frosh duo helps No. 8 Duke beat Wake Forest without Coach K

Associated Press  

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Duke labored through two games with shaky shooting and turnover-prone play since returning from a COVID-19 outbreak. Paolo Banchero had 24 points and Duke hit 13 straight shots spanning halftime to blow it open and beat Wake Forest 76-64 on Wednesday night, turning in its best stretch of play since returning from a stoppage that included two postponed games. That helped the Blue Devils bounce back from a weekend home loss to Miami, along with securing a win while Krzyzewski was out with what the school called a “non-COVID-related virus.” Associate head coach Jon Scheyer — designated as Krzyzewski’s successor when he retires this spring — worked as acting coach. Alondes Williams scored 25 points for the Demon Deacons, who had the Blue Devils in a tight game coming down the first-half stretch and led 29-27 on Dallas Walton’s and-1 dunk with 54.1 seconds left. “You’ve still got to play the way you’re taught and the way we’ve been playing all year long,” Demon Deacons coach Steve Forbes said.
