DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - DeMarcus Nelson scored 20 points to lead No. 9 Duke to a 87-65 victory over Virginia on Sunday night.
Gerald Henderson added 18 points and Kyle Singler scored 13 for the Blue Devils who never trailed as the two teams played their initial game in the Atlantic Coast Conference season.
The Blue Devils hit 11 3-pointers and shut down Virginia's perimeter game. Duke held the Cavaliers, a 40 percent shooting team from long range, to just 4-of-14 shooting from beyond the arc.
Sean Singletary scored 18 points and Calvin Baker added 13 for Virginia, which was denied its first victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium since a double-overtime victory in 1995. Its four-game winning streak against ranked teams also was snapped.
