DURHAM, N.C. -- Luol Deng scored 21 points and J.J. Redick had 19 to help No. 2 Duke rally to beat Detroit 67-56 Saturday and improve to 22-2 in season openers under coach Mike Krzyzewski.
The Blue Devils had to struggle to win for the 29th straight time at Cameron Indoor Stadium, giving Krzyzewski his 664th career victory to tie UCLA's John Wooden for 18th place on the NCAA Division I list.
James Thues scored 12 points to lead Detroit, which entered it season opener as a 20-point underdog.
The Blue Devils hardly looked like the nation's second-ranked team for most of the game. The Titans scored the first 12 points, and the Blue Devils didn't take the lead until midway through the second half.
Duke made just 16-of-45 shots, but was 29-for-36 at the line -- including 20-of-22 in the second half -- and pushed the lead to double figures in the final five minutes.
Detroit shot 48 percent, but had 21 turnovers and went to the line only 10 times -- making eight.
