Duke stomps Pack
Boozer has career game
By The Associated Press
DURHAM, N.C. — Carlos Boozer scored a career-high 32 points Thursday night and top-ranked Duke beat No. 24 North Carolina State 108-71, the Blue Devils 12th straight win over the Wolfpack.
Boozer was 13-of-14 from the field for Duke (23-1, 11-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), which plays at No. 3 Maryland on Sunday.
Anthony Grundy and Ilian Evtimov each had 16 points for the Wolfpack (18-7, 7-5), who are ranked for the first time in two years.
N.C. State came in with the ACC's best scoring defense at 64.1 points a game, but gave up a season-high point total and the most under coach Herb Sendek in 185 games. It was also the most the program has given up since Duke scored 110 on Feb. 15, 1992, as Duke shot 69 percent in the second half and 63 percent for the game.
