Ninth-ranked Duke handed Notre Dame its first home loss with a 57-43 victory over the Fighting Irish in an ACC showdown Monday night in South Bend.

Freshman star Paolo Banchero (PAU-low bun-CHEH-row) led the Blue Devils with 21 points and nine rebounds. Notre Dame got 14 points from Paul Atkinson Jr., but nobody else scored more than seven, and the Irish shot just 19 percent.
