Scores game-high 22 points Hurt posted 22 points (8-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and a block across 38 minutes in Saturday's win over Virginia.

Impact Hurt paced the Blue Devils on offense once again, and he now scored at least 20 points in three straight contests. He is averaging a robust 18.2 points per game while shooting an impressive 61.9 percent from the field in six games this month.

Scores game-winning bucket Brakefield finished with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, four blocks and a steal across 29 minutes off the bench in Saturday's win over Virginia.

Impact Brakefield left his mark on the defensive end of the court, but he was also the unsung hero for the Blue Devils in this one -- he scored the winning bucket with a reverse lay-up late in the second half. Brakefield can't be counted on for sustained production of playing time, however, as he has played at least 25 minutes just twice since the start of December and has scored in double digits just four times in that stretch.

Solid output off bench Baker registered 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-7 3Pt) across 17 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's win over Wake Forest.

Impact Baker was one of four Duke players that scored in double digits in this game, and he made a living out of his long-distance shooting since he drained a season-best four threes in this one. He has scored in double digits in two of his last three contests and has shot 47.1 percent from three-point range during that three-game stretch.

Another 20-point performance Hurt registered 22 points (8-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and a steal across 31 minutes in Wednesday's win at Wake Forest.

Impact Hurt missed three of his six shots from the charity stripe, but it was an otherwise perfect performance from the sophomore who was absolutely dominant on the offensive end of the court. Hurt has scored 20 or more points in three of his last five games.
