Trio leads Duke to Classic victory

NO. 5 DUKE 84, NO. 21 FLORIDA 74

NEW YORK -- Amile Jefferson had career highs of 24 points and 15 rebounds to help lead No. 5 Duke to an 84-74 victory over No. 21 Florida on Tuesday night in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden.

Luke Kennard scored 29 points and freshman Jayson Tatum added 22 for the Blue Devils (9-1), whose only loss was to Kansas on this same court in the Champions Classic in November.

As good as Duke (9-1) looked against Florida (7-2), it was only that: a glimpse.
