What happened
In Durham, No. 2 Duke beat SIU Edwardsville 90-47 on Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Duke's recap, the official box and the Associated Press all list that final. The box puts the crowd at 9,314. The visitors scored 20, then 27. Duke scored 43, then 47. Duke is 3-1 and 0-0 in the ACC. SIU Edwardsville is 2-3 and 0-0 in the Ohio Valley. The school write-up is stamped 10:38 p.m. A tip time is not on that page, on the box, or in the wire story read here.
The Associated Press calls Friday a bounce-back from Duke's first loss, the 79-73 defeat against Michigan State on Tuesday in Chicago. The school recap does not use those words. It does list the record at 3-1. Earlier home results on this site are the 113-52 win over Coastal Carolina and the 84-50 opening win over Army.
Six in double figures
The individual lines are the official box. Six Duke players reached double figures, which is also how the school recap opens.
Patrick Ngongba II led the scoring with 13 points and 9 rebounds. He made 4 of 6 shots and 5 of 6 free throws, added 4 assists and blocked 5 shots, in 21 minutes. The recap says those five blocks matched a career high from Dec. 2, 2025, against Florida, and that he and Cayden Boozer shared the team lead with four assists each. The Associated Press also lists 13 and nine rebounds.
Caleb Foster and Dame Sarr scored 12 apiece. Foster made 4 of 6, including 3 of 5 from three. The box does not mark him as a starter. Sarr started, made 5 of 11 and added 3 steals. The wire also lists 12 for each of them.
Cayden Boozer had 11 points and 10 rebounds, on 3 of 7 and a perfect 4 of 4 at the line, with 4 assists. Duke's recap calls the 10 a game high and the line his second double-double of the season. The Associated Press calls the 10 a career best. Both descriptions are left with the outlet that printed them.
Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje scored 11, with 9 rebounds, on 5 of 8. Sebastian Wilkins also scored 11, making 1 of 5 from the field and 9 of 10 free throws, with 6 rebounds. The school write-up says Wilkins's points were the first double-digit game of his career, and that Boumtje Boumtje and Ngongba each stopped one rebound short of a double-double.
How the half got to 43-20
Duke's recap says the largest lead before intermission was 43-15, and that the Cougars scored the last five points of the half. The box lists the break at 43-20. The Associated Press also uses 43-20 and says Duke put together an 11-0 run. The school account puts a 25-6 lead, and the SIU Edwardsville timeout that followed, at 8:29 before the half, with that 11-0 run inside the push.
The wire says Foster made three 3-pointers during a 25-6 opening burst. The recap says he hit Duke's first three and two more later, and that a Cameron Williams alley-oop was part of the 11-0. The box has Duke at 9 of 29 from three for the night. The Associated Press prints that same 9 of 29.
The box lists zero lead changes and one tie. Duke's recap says Sarr scored the Blue Devils' first basket.
The margin, and Tuesday
Duke shot 30 of 66, printed as 45.45 percent, made 9 of 29 threes and 21 of 29 free throws. The sheet lists 51 rebounds, 19 assists, 9 turnovers, 8 blocks and 11 steals. SIU Edwardsville shot 17 of 56, 30.36 percent, made 3 of 22 threes and 10 of 16 free throws, with 33 rebounds and 19 turnovers. Before the break the visitors were 0 of 7 from deep. The recap's .455 and .304 match 30 of 66 and 17 of 56. It says 51 rebounds were the second Duke game this season at 50 or more, after 53 against Coastal Carolina.
The Associated Press says each of Duke's three home wins has come by at least 34 points. Friday's margin on the box is 43. The wire lists Gianni Cobb with 9 and Jordan Pickett with 8. The box shows Cobb at 3 of 8 for 9, and Pickett at 3 of 10 for 8. It also says SIU Edwardsville picked up seven fouls in less than five minutes, and made three second-half threes in the first seven minutes after the 0-for-7 first half.
Duke's recap sends the team to No. 3 Illinois, listed at 3-1, on Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 7 p.m. in Cameron Indoor Stadium, on ESPN. The Associated Press agrees that No. 3 Illinois visits Tuesday night and does not add a clock or a channel. The wire says SIU Edwardsville plays Monday at North Dakota. A header on the box page also names Washington State for Nov. 21 at 11 p.m. That line is not the next game in the recap, so it is not used here as the next opponent.
