Take me home Rt. 29,
To the John Paul Jones Arena where we’re devine.
Central Virginia,

*Behind 20 points from DeMarcus Nelson, Duke (No. 7 ESPN/USA Today, No. 9 AP) cruised to an 87-65 victory against Virginia on Sunday night, perhaps the Blue Devils' most complete victory of the season.

Henderson added 18 points and Kyle Singler scored 13 for the Blue Devils (13-1, 1-0 ACC).

Duke shot better than 50 percent, never trailed, led by double figures for the entire second half, hit 11 3-pointers and shut down Virginia's perimeter game.
