DURHAM, N.C. -- Greg Paulus scored 17 points and Josh McRoberts had 11 points in a solid all-around performance to lead No. 14 Duke past Wake Forest 62-40 on Thursday night.
The Blue Devils (15-3, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) have won two straight since consecutive league losses to Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech.
Kyle Visser scored 12 points to lead the Demon Deacons (9-8, 1-4), who finished with a season-low scoring and never seriously threatened the Blue Devils.
The Blue Devils were hardly an offensive machine, shooting 44 percent and going nearly six minutes without a point in the second half. Still, they had little trouble extending the Demon Deacons' misery in Cameron Indoor Stadium, winning for the 10th straight season here.
Wake Forest has lost each one of those games by double figures and hasn't won here since Tim Duncan's senior season.
McRoberts finished with eight rebounds, six assists and three blocks in 37 minutes.
Duke's defense caused trouble just about all night, forcing the untested Demon Deacons into 1-on-1 plays that managed little more than numerous missed shots. Wake Forest shot 33 percent for the game and easily passed its previous low of 58 points scored in a loss to Air Force in November.
No. 9 Oregon 66, Stanford 59
EUGENE, Ore. -- Aaron Brooks recorded 19 points and 10 rebounds to lead Oregon.
Tajuan Porter added 15 points and Bryce Taylor scored 14 for the Ducks (17-1, 5-1), who are off to their best start in 80 years. The win ended a seven-game losing streak to the Cardinal (11-5, 3-3), who upset then 23rd-ranked Washington State 71-68 in overtime in their last game.
Brooks scored nine straight for the Ducks late in the second half, eventually giving them a 53-51 advantage with 5:04 to play. Oregon never trailed again.
