Duke just didn't look itself in a building where the Blue Devils have been so impressive so often.
The seventh-ranked Blue Devils were tied with Arizona State with 13 minutes left in the second semifinal of the NIT Season Tip-Off on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.
But then Kyle Singler, who uncharacteristically missed eight of his first nine shots, made his second straight to give Duke the lead for good and the Blue Devils turned up the defensive intensity in a 19-3 run that led to a 64-53 victory over the Sun Devils.
"I could have played more aggressively and that's what I do," said Singler, who finished 5 of 16 from the field and had 13 points. "Being aggressive is what I do and that gets easy baskets."
