Duke watched as Jimmy Baron turned the second half into his personal shootaround. Finally, the Blue Devils put their best player in his face — just in time to save their long home-court winning streak.

Kyle Singler hit two free throws with 19.4 seconds left, then stopped Rhode Island's top scorer down the stretch to lead No. 8 Duke past the Rams 82-79 on Sunday.

Jon Scheyer scored 23 points and was 13-of-13 from the free-throw line, and Singler finished with 21 points for the Blue Devils (3-0). They fell behind by 12 early and trailed for most of the way before scoring on their final seven possessions to rally for their NCAA-best 62nd straight non-conference victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
