DURHAM, N.C. -- Kyle Singler led five double-figure scorers with 16 points and No. 5 Duke routed St. John's 86-56 on Saturday to snap its two-game losing streak.
Gerald Henderson and Nolan Smith scored 13 points apiece for the Blue Devils, who went on a 32-9 run late in the first half and cruised to their NCAA-leading 59th straight nonconference victory
at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Jon Scheyer added 12 points in his first start of the season and center Brian Zoubek had 11 points and a career-high 13 rebounds for Duke.
Duke, which allowed an average of 91 points in the two defeats, forced the Big East's worst offense into 18 turnovers, limited it to 3-of-13 shooting from 3-point range and held it to two field
goals during a 91/2-minute first-half stretch.
Anthony Mason Jr., who leads the Red Storm with a 15.2-point average, was held to four on 2-of-11 shooting. Freshman D.J. Kennedy had 16 points to lead the Red Storm, the last non-Atlantic
Coast Conference team to win at Cameron.
