RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Mike Dunleavy scored 22 of his career-high 27 points in the first half Sunday night as the top-ranked Duke Blue Devils rolled to a 76-57 Atlantic Coast Conference victory over North Carolina State.
A week ago, Duke had its 22-game winning streak snapped by Florida State, 77-76. Again playing before a national television audience, the Blue Devils got off to a slow start, but closed the first half with a 23-2 run to take control.
Carlos Boozer added 22 points for Duke (14-1, 3-1 ACC), which has taken the last 11 meetings with North Carolina State for its longest winning streak in the series since 1941-47.
Josh Powell scored 12 points and Clifford Crawford and reserve Scooter Sherrill added 10 apiece for the Wolfpack (12-4, 2-1), who have not beaten the Blue Devils since March 7, 1997.
