GREENSBORO, N.C. — DJ Steward scored 17 points, Mark Williams added 13 points and 10th-seeded Duke beat Boston College 86-51 to begin its quest of winning five-straight games in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.
No team has won five ACC tournament games in five days - but Duke (12-11) likely must win out to avoid missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1995.
Jordan Goldwire closed the first half with a 3-pointer, and he made 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions, capping an 11-2 run, to give Duke a 22-point lead with 12:31 remaining.
Boston College did not have a player score in double figures after shooting just 39.1%.
