DURHAM -- Seth Curry scored a season-high 22 points, Austin Rivers added 20 and No. 7 Duke routed Western Michigan 110-70 on Friday night in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Quinn Cook had 16 points and Josh Hairston finished with 13, helping the Blue Devils (11-1) win their fourth straight. They shot 54 percent, held a 50-28 rebounding advantage and used a huge early run and a knack for getting to the free-throw line to take a 30-point lead in the first half.

Duke hit triple digits for the first time this season after scoring 63 points by halftime, its most in a half since its 66-point second half last year against Colgate.

Matt Stainbrook had 18 points to lead the Broncos (5-8). They had their four-game winning streak snapped in decisive fashion and were beaten by an Atlantic Coast Conference team for the first time in program history.

Miles Plumlee had a career-high 15 rebounds and Tyler Thornton added 12 points for the Blue Devils, who faced little resistance in extending a few impressive streaks at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

They won their 42nd in a row at home -- only the 46-game winning streak from 1997-2000 was longer at the venerable arena -- and claimed its 92nd straight victory at Cameron against non-ACC teams.

The Blue Devils were playing for just the second time in nearly three weeks -- because of final exams and the holiday break -- and first time since a 27-point romp against UNCG on Dec. 19. The pace picks up in a hurry: They have fewer than 48 hours to prepare for Sunday afternoon's game against Pennsylvania.
