Chief Justise: Winslow Leads No. 4 Duke Past Syracuse 73-54

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Freshman Justise Winslow scored a season-high 23 points and No. 4 Duke routed Syracuse 73-54 on Saturday night for its ninth straight win. After Matt Jones started the decisive run with a 3, Winslow swished another one about a minute later — in the process earning a rare during-the-play high-five from coach Mike Krzyzewski. The lefty then stepped back behind the arc and connected again about 3 minutes after that to make it 51-33. Okafor capped that decisive run with a free throw — after missing his first six foul shots — that put Duke up by 20 for the first time, 58-38 with 9:42 left. What had been billed as the ACC's best new rivalry — the teams traded wins last year in a pair of epic games — lost some sizzle when the Orange dropped out of the national rankings, then held themselves out of the upcoming postseason.
