Wednesday's Top 25 Capsules

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -Jon Scheyer and Kyle Singler scored 22 points apiece and No. 2 Duke held off a late Stephen Curry-led charge to beat Davidson 79-67 on Wednesday night.

Gerald Henderson added 11 points on 3-of-11 shooting for the Blue Devils (13-1). They never trailed, outscored the Wildcats 20-7 to start the second half and withstood their late comeback attempt to win their 67th straight nonconference home game.

Curry, the nation's leading scorer, scored 29 points - the most Duke has allowed any player this season - on 10-of-22 shooting for Davidson (10-3), with 21 of those coming in the second half as he tried to rally his team from a 25-point deficit.

He scored eight straight points during a 14-2 spurt midway through the half to help the Wildcats close to 13.

Davidson then pulled to 69-61 on Andrew Lovedale's basket in the post with 3:53 left, but couldn't get any closer. Scheyer scored six points in the final 2 minutes - including the 1,000th of his career - to help Duke pull away late.

No. 3 North Carolina 108, College of Charleston 70

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Tyler Hansbrough had 24 points and North Carolina bounced back from its first loss by beating College of Charleston.

Deon Thompson added 15 points for the Tar Heels (14-1), who used a 19-2 run spanning halftime to turn the game into a rout. North Carolina shot 59 percent and cracked the 100-point mark for the fifth time this year.

North Carolina held the No. 1 ranking until Sunday's 85-78 home loss to Boston College, which was picked to finish 11th in the Atlantic Coast Conference. North Carolina had won every other game by double figures.

Tony White Jr. had 16 points to lead the Cougars (10-3).

No. 11 Syracuse 85, DePaul 68

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Andy Rautins scored 17 points and Paul Harris added 14 to lead six Syracuse players in double figures in the Orange's win over DePaul.
