- Duke's 11 point loss is its worst since a 94-80 loss at Wake Forest on Feb. 13, 2003. It also marks just Duke's eighth loss this decade by double figures (a total of 251 games).

- After David McClure got an offensive put back at the 5:49 mark to tie the game at 58-58, Duke was unable to score for the next 4:39 while Marquette went on an 11-0 run. McClure finished the game a perfect 3-of-3 from the field and hit his second career three-pointer which tied the game at 41-41 early in the second half.
- After shooting sub-70 percent from the free throw line through the first four games of the season (69-of-101 - .683), the Blue Devils connected on 17-of-18 (.944) from the line against Marquette.
- Junior DeMarcus Nelson earned all-tournament mention by scoring 11 of Duke's first 16 points in the opening 5:45 of the game and finishing with 13 points to record his fifth double-figure scoring game of the season and 20th of his career.
- Sophomore Josh McRoberts struggled from the field (4-of-15) but led Duke with 15 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two blocked shotd. It marked the first time in his career McRoberts has scored in double figures and the Blue Devils have lost.
- Freshman Lance Thomas finished with nine points and an early season/career high of seven rebounds against Marquette. Three of his rebounds were offensive rebounds.
