Ohio State (4-1) came in leading the nation in 3-point shooting at 48 percent, but hit 6-of-21 and shot 33.8 percent overall. Deshaun Thomas led the Buckeyes with 16 points while Aaron Craft and Lenzelle Smith Jr. added 11 apiece.

Duke notched its third win over a top four team, following victories over Kentucky and Louisville. The Blue Devils also got payback for last season's 85-63 loss at Ohio State.
