- With its 75-47 win over Davidson, Duke improves to 5-1 on the season and improves its all-time record to 85-17 against the Wildcats.

- Duke has now held four of its six opponents to less than 50 points.

Duke also has held its opponents under 20 points in a half three times this season, including a Duke opponent low 18 in the first half against Davidson.
- Duke has now won 44 straight non-conference home games, the second-longest streak in Duke history and third longest active streak in the country.
