DURHAM, NC (AP) – Angel Rodriguez scored 24 points and Miami shot 67 percent after halftime to upset No. 4 Duke 90-74 on Tuesday night, snapping the Blue Devils’ 41-game home winning streak.

Manu Lecomte had a career-high 23 points for the Hurricanes (12-4, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who dominated the final 20 minutes with their pesky defense and attacking dribble penetration that the Blue Devils just couldn’t defend.

Trailing 35-34 at the break, Miami shot 18-for-27 after halftime and hit 6 of 9 3-pointers – a stunningly one-sided show starring a team that lost by 28 points at home to Eastern Kentucky on Dec. 19.

Duke (14-2, 2-2) hadn’t lost at Cameron Indoor Stadium since March 2012 and hadn’t lost consecutive regular-season games since February 2009.

But much like Sunday’s loss at against North Carolina State, the Blue Devils were unable to slow a hot-shooting team nor keep up at their own offensive end.

SYRACUSE, NY (AP) – Rakeem Christmas scored a career-high 35 points, Trevor Cooney added 21, and Syracuse beat Wake Forest 86-83 in overtime on Tuesday night.

Michael Gbinije’s step-back 3-pointer staked Syracuse to a 79-75 lead midway through the extra period, and after a layup by Devin Thomas pulled the Demon Deacons (9-9, 1-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) within 79-78 with 75 seconds left, Christmas sank six straight free throws to boost the margin to 85-80.

Codi Miller-McIntyre countered with a long 3 from the wing with 4.7 seconds to play, and Cornelius Hudson clanged a shot off the rim from beyond half court at the buzzer that would have forced a second overtime.

Gbinije, who had 17 points and 11 rebounds, missed a chance to win it in regulation for Syracuse (13-4, 4-0) when his driving layup bounced off the rim with 3.2 seconds left and the game tied at 71.
