Boozer’s Big‑Hit Boosts Duke’s Rank

Duke University racked up a dominant 100–56 victory at Notre Dame, with freshman star Cameron Boozer pulling off a 24‑point performance while shooting just 8 of 16 field‑goal attempts—a staggering efficiency that underlined his draft‑ready potential.

Highlights

• Free‑throw mastery: Boozer hit 12 of 14 from the line, proving how difficult it is to defend him without committing fouls.
• All‑purpose play: 13 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 assists added to his scoring punch.
• Coach Jon Scheyer’s milestone: Became the first ACC head coach to secure multiple 40‑point road wins against conference opponents—a record unmatched even by Hall of Fame coaches.

Impact on the Rankings

• Duke remains No. 1 in the latest CBS Sports poll, marking its fourth consecutive day atop the leaderboard.
• The top four—Duke, Michigan, Arizona, Iowa State—held steady because all secured victories.
• Vanderbilt gained ground while BYU slipped down; BYU fell from 18th to 22nd after a 97–84 win over BYU.
• Notre Dame’s coach Micah Schrewsberry suffered an Achilles rupture, but the team still finished 23–8 and upset BYU as underdogs.

The next ranking update will be released on Saturday following West Virginia’s game.
