"But Boozer dominated down low from the start, scoring the game's first six points on inside moves, while Okorie had two turnovers and a blocked layup. Boozer wound up outscoring Stanford in the first half on his own (20-19) and finished with 30 points and 14 rebounds. Okorie was held to nine points, his second-lowest total of the season, on 3-of-9 shooting."
"The Cardinal (14-5, 3-3 ACC) had beaten top-20 teams Louisville and UNC at Maples earlier this month and had won its last four home games against ranked opponents. But Stanford never got closer than 14 in the second half as Duke (17-1, 6-0) shot 56 percent, taking the emotion out of the sellout crowd who had come to see the Blue Devils play in Maples for the first time."
Duke defeated Stanford 80-50 at Maples Pavilion with freshman Cameron Boozer leading Duke, scoring 30 points and grabbing 14 rebounds.
