The Blue Devils (9-0) used some impressive defense to pull away early in the second half, holding Texas (8-1) without a field goal for a span of 8:25 and going on a 21-3 run.
Redick finished 9-for-16 on 3-pointers, bettering the eight he had against Florida State last season. His previous best for points was 38 against Wake Forest last season.

Romeo Travis led the Zips (3-2) with 21 points and Darryl Peterson added 16.
No. 8 Oklahoma 57, Coppin St. 47
NORMAN, Okla. -- Kevin Bookout scored 19 points and Taj Gray added 18, but Oklahoma struggled to put away winless Coppin State.
The Sooners (5-1) extended their 19-point halftime lead with an 8-0 run early in the second half to take a 40-16 edge. But the Eagles (0-7), who have yet to play a home game this season, were able to cut into the gap with a 13-2 run and later pulled within nine points.
No. 9 Gonzaga 64, Oklahoma St. 62
SEATTLE -- After struggling all game with his shooting, Adam Morrison banked in a 3-pointer over two Oklahoma State defenders with 2.5 seconds left to give Gonzaga a wild comeback win.
The game ended with Morrison mobbed by teammates while he stretched both arms wide to the roaring home-state crowd. He finished with 25 points -- 11 of those off free throws -- for Gonzaga (6-2).
Mario Boggan, one of the two Cowboys near Morrison's chin on the game-deciding shot, finished with a career-high 19 to lead Oklahoma State (6-3).
