BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Eric Gordon and No. 10 Indiana stuck it to Illinois again.

The high scoring freshman, who reneged on an oral commitment with the Illini and signed instead with the Hoosiers, had 17 points and Indiana rallied from a seven-point deficit in the second half to beat Illinois 62-58 Sunday.

It was Indiana’s 10th straight victory and 27th in a row at home.

Big Ten rebounding leader D.J. White, coming off 21 points and a career-high 22 rebounds in a win at Michigan on Tuesday, added 15 points and 10 boards, and Armon Bassett had all 11 of his points in the second half for the Hoosiers (14-1, 3-0). Shaun Pruitt led Illinois (8-9, 0-4) with 14 points.

DURHAM, N.C. — DeMarcus Nelson scored 20 points to lead Duke.

Duke held the Cavaliers, a 40 percent shooting team from long range, to just 4-of-14 shooting from beyond the arc.

Sean Singletary scored 18 points and Calvin Baker added 13 for Virginia (10-4, 0-1), which was denied its first victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium since a double-overtime victory in 1995.
