Duke wins and will go to New York

Kyle Singler scored 19 points for the second consecutive game and No. 8 Duke rolled into the 2K Sports Classic semifinals by routing Georgia Southern, 97-54, on Tuesday night at Durham, N.C.

Nolan Smith added 13 points, and Gerald Henderson and Greg Paulus each finished with 11 to help the Blue Devils (2-0) win their 61st straight nonconference game at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Now, after they play host to Rhode Island this weekend, they will head to Madison Square Garden -- where last season’s team suffered its first loss -- to meet the Massachusetts-Southern Illinois winner in a semifinal.

Willie Powers scored 17 points and Julian Allen had 10 to lead Georgia Southern (1-1). The Eagles went at least five minutes between field goals twice in the first half, and they shot just 28% while allowing Duke to shoot 48.5%.

Michigan wins

Michigan’s Manny Harris scored a career-high 30 points and the Wolverines easily beat Division II Michigan Tech, 77-55, in the 2K Sports Classic at Ann Arbor.

Michigan (1-0) will face Northeastern in tonight’s regional final.
