"Duke (26-2, 14-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), playing its first game this season as No. 1, coming off win over then-No. 1 Michigan on Saturday, ended Notre Dame's streak of six home wins against AP No. 1-ranked teams, starting with UCLA in 1974, when the Fighting Irish ended UCLA's record 88-game winning streak."
"Notre Dame (12-16, 3-12) played its third consecutive game without freshman Jalen Haralson (ankle sprain), who was averaging 15.5 points a game. Haralson has been Notre Dame's leading scorer since star guard Markus Burton suffered an ankle injury that required surgery in December."
