Curry, the nation's leading scorer, scored 29 points -- the most Duke has allowed any player this season -- on 10-of-22 shooting for Davidson (10-3), with 21 of those coming in the second half as he tried to rally his team from a 25-point deficit.

Davidson then pulled to 69-61 with 3:53 left, but couldn't get any closer.

Curry moved into second place on Davidson's career scoring list with 2,040 points -- eight more than Fred Hetzel.
