Ryan Kelly and Mason Plumlee each had double-doubles and No. 5 Duke saw five players finish in double digit in scoring on the way to a decisive 85-55 victory over Penn in the Blue Devils' 94th consecutive non-conference home win in Durham.

Kelly had 18 points and 12 rebounds and Plumlee went for 10-and-12 as Duke (12-1) improved to 7-0 at home. It was the Blue Devils’ 43rd straight win at Cameron Indoor – 37th of those by 10 or more points.

Seth Curry (13), Austin Rivers (10) and Miles Plumlee (10) also finished in double digits for Duke, which outrebounded the Quakers 43-25.

Duke shot 49 percent from the field, close to its ACC-best .505 coming into the game and good enough to best Penn (6-8). The Blue Devils are now 50-9 all-time against Ivy League schools and 24-1 under head coach Mike Krzyzewski.

Penn was led by Bob Cousy Award candidate Zack Rosen, who notched 14 points. The Quakers accuracy from the field, just 35 percent overall, hindered them from the start and the game was well on its way to being out of reach by halftime, with Duke leading 44-26.

Duke will visit Temple this week before opening up its ACC schedule against Georgia Tech in Atlanta next weekend. Penn, in a stretch where it plays five of six away from home, has a road matchup against Lafayette next on the docket.
