Big Ten-ACC Challenge 2017: Duke Hangs on vs. Indiana, Miami Beats Minnesota

The third night of the Big Ten-ACC challenge took place across the country Wednesday night, highlighted by Mike Krzyzewski's return to the place he got his coaching start and a Top 25 matchup between the Miami Hurricanes and Minnesota Golden Gophers.    

Here is a look at the result of every game on the slate. 

Duke 91, Indiana 81

The Duke Blue Devils got way more than they bargained for but still left Bloomington, Indiana, with a victory.

Marvin Bagley III and Wendell Carter Jr. each had double-doubles, and Grayson Allen scored 21 points.  Duke ended up pulling away down the stretch for a 91-81 win over the Hoosiers at Assembly Hall.

The matchup was a back-and-forth affair that featured both teams passing the lead around until Duke went on a 13-4 run to close out the game. It was tied with five minutes remaining, and Indiana held a 73-69 lead with 6:31 remaining.

A combination of Duke's talent advantage and its being in the double bonus down the stretch ultimately helped seal the deal for the Blue Devils. Carter was often the best player on the floor before fouling out, finishing with 18 points and 12 rebounds. Bagley was also dominant inside on his way to a 23-point, 10-rebound, three-assist effort that flashed his all-around game.

Allen picked his spots but got to 21 points on an efficient 7-of-12 shooting. The Blue Devils shot 55 percent from the floor despite making only three of their 17 shots from distance.

Robert Johnson's 17 points led the way for Indiana. Collin Hartman continued to work his way back into the lineup with 11 points off the bench.

Miami 86, Minnesota 81

Dewan Huell scored 23 points to lead four Miami starters in double figures, as the No. 10 Hurricanes held on for an 86-81 win over No. 12 Minnesota in a closely contested matchup of Top 25 teams.

Tied at halftime with the Golden Gophers, Miami scored the first two points of the second half and never trailed the rest of the way. The Hurricanes led by as many as 12 points and maintained at least a two-possession advantage for the game's final 17:58.

Bruce Brown Jr. added 16 points, nine rebounds and five assists in a stellar all-around effort. Point guard Ja'Quan Newton was an assist away from a double-double with 12 points and nine assists, while Dejan Vasiljevic had 11 points and two rebounds. Chris Lykes also scored 10 points off the bench.

All five Minnesota starters were in double figures, highlighted by Amir Coffey's 23. Jordan Murphy (17 points, 14 rebounds) and Reggie Lynch (12 points, 10 rebounds, seven blocks) also had stellar double-doubles.

The Gophers' lack of bench depth hurt them in a major way Wednesday, though, with no reserve scoring a single point. Jamir Harris was the only Minnesota bench player to even attempt a shot. 

Nebraska 71, Boston College 62

James Palmer Jr. and Isaac Copeland scored a team-high 15 points apiece to lead four Nebraska starters in double figures as the Cornhuskers clinched a 71-62 home win over Boston College at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

The Huskers raced out to a 44-36 lead at halftime and held the Eagles to 26 points in the second half amid their own shooting troubles. Evan Taylor (13 points) and Glynn Watson Jr. (10 points, six assists) were also in double figures for Nebraska.

Jerome Robinson scored a team-high 17 points for Boston College, which shot 42.6 percent as a team and made only four of its 22 shots from distance.

Clemson 79, Ohio State 65

Marcquise Reed scored 22 points, and Shelton Mitchell added 19, helping Clemson pulled away in the second half for a 79-65 win over Ohio State at Value City Arena At The Jerome Schottenstein Center.

The Tigers went into the break down 37-30 but put up 49 points in a dominant second half. They shot 55.8 percent from the floor and knocked down 10 of their 19 attempts from three-point range in what became an offensive onslaught.

Reed finished with 22 points and seven rebounds on 7-of-13 shooting. Mitchell added six assists with his 19 points. Donte Grantham (11 points, six rebounds, six assists) and Elijah Thomas (11 points, eight rebounds) were also in double figures.

Keita Bates-Diop scored a team-high 21 points for Ohio State, which shot 43.6 percent from the field. The Buckeyes have dropped each of their last two games since a 5-1 start.

North Carolina State 85, Penn State 78

Omer Yurtseven had a double-double off the bench, and Allerik Freeman had 17 points, leading North Carolina State to an 85-78 win over Penn State at PNC Arena.

Yurtseven scored 19 points and added 11 rebounds as a reserve, knocking down six of his seven shots—including all three from distance. Sam Hunt also knocked down four shots from three-point range on his way to 14 points.

The Wolfpack did not trail in the second half, but Penn State closed within three points with 43.1 seconds remaining. Markell Johnson and Braxton Beverly hit six free throws down the stretch to put the game away.

Tony Carr led the way for Penn State with a game-high 29 points, almost single-handedly keeping the Nittany Lions in the game at times. It was somewhat reminiscent of the Nittany Lions' loss to Texas A&M, with Carr burrowing his head down and scoring 31 points.

NC State's win snapped a two-game losing streak that started following its upset win over then-No. 2 Arizona.

North Carolina 86, Michigan 71

Luke Maye bounced back from his worst game of the season, scoring a game-high 27 points to lead No. 13 North Carolina to an 86-71 win over Michigan at the Dean Smith Center.

Maye, who scored just eight points in Sunday's ugly loss to Michigan State, made 11 of his 16 shots and added six rebounds and three assists. He's scored 20 points five times already this season after scoring in double figures just six times as a sophomore.

Joel Berry II added 17 points, five rebounds and four assists, and Kenny Williams added 12 points to round out double-figure scorers for the Tar Heels. North Carolina scored 51 points in the first half, six more than they scored in the ugly loss to Michigan State.

Moritz Wagner scored a team-high 20 points but was one of a select few Wolverines who did not struggle from the field. Michigan made just 10 of its 34 attempts from three-point range and missed six of its 11 shots from the charity stripe.
