Duke powers past Notre Dame

-

Grayson Allen scored 21 points, Jayson Tatum had 19 points and a career-high 14 rebounds, and No. 21 Duke beat No. 20 Notre Dame 84-74 on Monday night in South Bend, Ind.

Luke Kennard and Matt Jones each added 16 points for the Blue Devils (17-5, 5-4 ACC), who strung together consecutiv­e wins for the first time since the first week of January. This was also their second victory since being banned from their locker room by coach Mike Krzyzewski last week.

Jeff Capel is 3-3 as interim coach for Krzyzewski, who is still recovering from back surgery.

V.J. Beachem scored 20 points and Bonzie Colson had 17 and nine rebounds for the Irish (17-6, 6-4), who have lost three straight.

Gonzaga at the top: The lone remaining unbeaten team in Division I, Gonzaga moved to No. 1 in the latest Associated Press poll for the second time in school history. The Bulldogs, who received 46 first-place votes, moved up from third after Villanova and Kansas both lost last week.

New to this week’s poll is Northweste­rn, which is appearing in the top 25 for the first time in seven years.

KU’s Bragg charged: Suspended Kansas sophomore Carlton Bragg was charged with possession of drug parapherna­lia.

Bragg was given a notice to appear in court Feb. 14 after police said they found two glass smoking devices with residue inside them during a Dec. 17 investigat­ion into a reported rape at McCarthy Hall, home to the men’s basketball team and other male students.

Police said there is no indication the drug parapherna­lia is related to the sexual-assault case.

Pinson still out: North Carolina swingman Theo Pinson will miss Tuesday night’s game against Pittsburgh because of an ankle injury.

Pinson rolled his right ankle last week in a victory over Virginia Tech and did not play Saturday in a 77-62 loss at Miami.

Sumner tears ACL: Xavier sophomore point guard Edmond Sumner will be sidelined for the rest of the season with a torn ACL in his left knee.
