DURHAM (AP) — Freshman Frank Jackson scored 19 points and No. 6 Duke beat William & Mary 88-67 on Wednesday night.

Grayson Allen added 17 points to help the Blue Devils (5-1) win their third straight since their loss to No. 5 Kansas last week. Duke shot 50 percent and outrebounded the Tribe 39-25.

Amile Jefferson finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds, Luke Kennard had 11 points and Matt Jones scored 10 points. Duke has had five double-figure scorers in every game this season.

Jack Whitman and Daniel Dixon scored 13 points each for William & Mary (2-2), which hasn’t beaten a ranked team since 1977 and has never beaten one on the road.

The Tribe hung around this one until the second half, but Duke shot 52 percent after the break and pushed its lead well into the 20s with an 18-7 run midway through the half sparked by two 3s by Jackson.

BIG PICTURE

William & Mary: All the Tribe have proven so far is that they are not one of the nation’s Top 10 teams. No shame in losing either to Duke or to No. 10 Louisville, as they have done in the past nine days, and they made Duke work much harder than the Cardinals did when they beat them by 33.

Duke: This felt like business as usual for this group of Blue Devils, who can always seem to count on a big run to blow past an overmatched nonconference visitor. They used essentially a six-man rotation during the pre-garbage time portion of the game while cruising to their 128th straight non-ACC win at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

INJURY REPORT

Duke’s three injured freshmen — Harry Giles, Marques Bolden and Jayson Tatum — seem to be getting closer to playing. They have still yet to check into a game, but for the first time they were in uniform, and Giles and Bolden even took part in warmups.

Those three were a big reason why the Blue Devils were picked No. 1 in the preseason.

UP NEXT

William & Mary: The Tribe return home to play host to Liberty on Saturday.

Duke: The Blue Devils play host to Appalachian State on Saturday before welcoming in No. 24 Michigan State next week for the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
