Under interim coach Jeff Capel, the Blue Devils jumped out to a double-digit lead over Boston College and held on for the 93-82 win.
Freshman Jayson Tatum led Duke in scoring with 22 points, as one of six players to reach double-digits on the afternoon. Fellow freshman Frank Jackson recorded 15 points, Harry Giles added 12, and Grayson Allen added 12 points and 11 assists. Amile Jefferson notched 11 points and Matt Jones finished with 10.
