• Tyrese Proctor scored 17 points as Duke cruised past Wake Forest
• Georgia Amoore had 16 points despite struggling from beyond the arc in Kentucky's loss to South Carolina
• Aussie big man Alex Condon impressed off the bench for Florida with 11 points and nine rebounds

NBA-bound Aussie point guard Tyrese Proctor starred for Duke University in the team's dominant 93-60 win over Wake Forest at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Proctor recorded with 17 points, three rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes as he helped the 26-3 Blue Devils maintain its grip on top of the ACC standings over the No.7 ranked Demon Deacons (20-9).

Duke asserted their dominance early, racing to a 40-27 lead by halftime and Duke's offensive onslaught continued in the second half, outscoring Wake Forest 53-33 to secure the emphatic 33-point victory.

A pivotal moment came with 10:31 remaining in the first half when Proctor drained a three-pointer to extend the Blue Devils' lead to 17-13 with the shot from beyond the arc sparking a 23-14 run to close out the half, giving the home team a comfortable cushion they would never give up.

Cooper Flagg was a force for Duke, contributing 16 points, nine rebounds, and four assists, shooting 8-from-10 from the field while Kon Knueppel added 12 points, showcasing Duke's depth.

For Wake Forest, Hunter Sallis was impressive with 16 points but it wasn't enough to keep pace with Duke's high-powered offense. Efton Reid also chipped in with 10 points and six rebounds but the Demon Deacons struggled to find consistent scoring options throughout the game.

Duke's defensive pressure was relentless, forcing 15 Wake Forest turnovers while committing only 10 themselves, with the Blue Devils' interior presence equally impressive, outrebounding Wake Forest 45-31, including 18 offensive rebounds which led to numerous second-chance points.

Proctor is currently projected to be the 43rd pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, according to ESPN.

Kentucky @ South Carolina (NCAA Women)

Georgia Amoore struggled shooting the ball from the perimeter but still had 16 points in Kentucky's 78-66 loss to South Carolina at Colonial Life Arena.

Amoore, one of college basketball's best shooters, was 0-from-4 from the three-point line, however she still hit eight shots from the field, grabbed four rebounds and dished out three assists to still make an impact despite the 12-point loss.

South Carolina had four players score in double figures, including two off the bench, as dominant opening and closing quarters helped them to a convincing victory at home.
