CAMERON BOOZER SCORED 18 POINTS as No. 3 Duke stunned top-ranked Michigan 68-63 in a high-stakes neutral-site clash in Washington. The Wolverines, riding a 11-game win streak and recently displaced Arizona at No. 1 in the AP poll, fell to their first loss since January. Boozer hit a crucial 3-pointer with 1:55 left to seal the victory, while Duke dominated rebounding 41-28.

This marks Duke's 23rd win against Michigan overall and their first neutral-court triumph in 12 years. Michigan settled for just 6-of-25 from beyond the arc, shooting poorly despite Yaxel Lendeborg's 21-point effort. The win gives Duke a 25-2 record and positions them for a potential East Regional berth in March.
