Mason Plumlee scored 30 points and No. 4 Duke was hot from the beginning from the three-point line to avenge an earlier loss to North Carolina State 98-85 Thursday night in Durham.
Seth Curry added 26 points and Quinn Cook had 21 for the Blue Devils who improve to 20-1 overall and 7-2 in the ACC. The Blue Devils, who never trailed, shot 54 percent and led by as many as 21 points before a late Wolfpack rally.
The Pack, led by Richard Howell’s 23 points, falls to 16-7 overall and 5-5 in the league. It seems a long time since NC State was predicted to win the conference.
