UNDATED (AP) --Duke and Kentucky, two of college basketball premier programs which have won 11 national titles, tangled in a rare November matchup at the Georgia Dome. Both teams hope to return there next spring when that arena hosts the Final Four.
On this night, the ninth-ranked Blue Devils beat third-ranked Kentucky 75-68 behind Seth Curry's 23 points. The Blue Devils ripped off a 13-3 run, capped by Rasheed Sulaimon's 3-pointer that made it 58-44 with 9 1/2 minutes remaining. Kentucky then outscored Duke 17-6 over the next six minutes to come within three. But Duke hung on to win the first meeting of these storied teams since 2001.
