CHARLOTESVILLE, Va., March 5 (UPI) -- Gerald Henderson's 19 points, nine rebounds and five assists Wednesday allowed fifth-ranked Duke to roll to an 86-70 victory at Virginia.

After spotting Virginia the game's first four points, Duke rallied for a 43-31 halftime advantage. That lead developed from Henderson's dunk with 6:07 left in the half, which gave the winners the lead for good at 30-29.

Duke also got 18 points and eight rebounds from Kyle Singler. DeMarcus Neldon had 16 points, four rebounds and four assists. Paulus scored 14 points and Jon Scheyer added 10 for the Blue Devils (26-3, 13-2 ACC), who carry a four-game winning streak into Saturday's regular-season finale against No. 1 North Carolina.

Shaun Singletary led Virginia with 18 points and seven assists. Calvin Baker had 15 points and four assists. Mamidi Diane scored 12 and Laurynas Mikalauskas added 10 for the Cavaliers (14-14, 4-11).
