Cameron Boozer delivered a dominant performance Tuesday night, scoring 24 points and grabbing 13 rebounds to lead No. 1 Duke to a 100-56 win over Notre Dame.
The 44-point margin underscored Duke’s control from start to finish and left a historic mark on the home side: It was Notre Dame’s worst home loss since 1898.
Boozer sets the tone
Boozer’s double-double anchored Duke’s effort on both ends, providing consistent scoring while controlling the glass as the Blue Devils built a lopsided advantage.
A night to forget for the Irish
Notre Dame struggled to keep pace as Duke reached triple digits and held the Irish to 56 points. The result added an unwanted entry to Notre Dame’s record book, with the defeat standing as the program’s most severe home setback in more than a century.
