(Tim Duncan held the previous record of 14 in 1995.)The Cavaliers came into the contest 1-32 all time against No. 1-ranked opponents -- and 0-17 against top-ranked Duke teams -- and had been blown out by the Blue Devils 77-51 two weeks ago at Cameron Indoor Stadium.But Virginia never looked intimidated on Saturday, even after Duke threatened to pull away late in the first half after building a 36-29 lead when Evans knocked down a 3 and Cayden Boozer -- who had 14 points before the break -- scored on a fast-break dunk off a Virginia turnover.It was back and forth from there until Cayden Boozer put back a weakside rebound to put the Blue Devils up for good at 68-66 with 2:50 left. The Cavaliers couldn't get a shot off in time on their next possession, and Duke seized the momentum with Evans hitting two free throws for a 70-66 lead.Onyenso scored low to cut the lead to two, and Cameron Boozer missed two free throws. Thomas had a chance to tie the score, but he missed the front end of a one-and-one, giving Duke the ball back.Onyenso then blocked Cameron Boozer for a fifth time. But Boozer was able to get his own rebound, and he passed the ball back outside, where the Cavaliers fouled Evans, who sank both free throws with 12.3 seconds left to put Duke up by four.Thomas made a layup, and Virginia fouled Cameron Boozer, who made amends for his misses by sinking two free throws to secure the victory.
