AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Jasmine Thomas scored 16 points to lead No. 6 Duke to a 75-62 win over Auburn on Thursday night at the brand new Auburn Arena.
Four other players — Chelsea Gray, Krystal Thomas, Karima Christmas and Haley Peters — scored in double figures for the Blue Devils (3-0), who shot 50 percent from the field to give head coach Joanne P. McCallie her 401st career win.
It was Auburn’s second consecutive loss to a Top 25 team after falling to No. 16 Florida State 67-61 on Monday.
Alli Smalley and Morgan Toles led the Tigers (1-2) with 12 points apiece.
The teams traded the lead seven times in the first half before Duke used a full-court press to run off a 13-4 run and take a 10-point lead into the break.
The Blue Devils led by as many as 16 in the second half.
