Audio: Michigan coach John Beilein, players
DURHAM, N.C. — Michigan coach John Beilein wanted to load up on Duke forwards Jabari Parker and Rodney Hood, but the Blue Devils' guards helped make the strategy suffer.
Duke junior point guard Quinn Cook exploded for 24 points in the second half to lead the No. 10 Blue Devils to a 79-69 victory over No. 22 Michigan on Tuesday in front of 9,314 fans at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Parker and Hood combined for 29 points for Duke, which improved to 7-2 overall.

Beilein was impressed with his own wing in the second half. Sophomore Caris LeVert scored a team-high 24 points to pace the Wolverines. Sophomore center Mitch McGary added 15 points and 14 rebounds in 27 minutes for Michigan (5-3).
