The now-fourth-ranked Wildcats&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/houston-arizona-score-a6b5d2099aa3f5211d350bcc4a7eae1f\">won at No. 2 Houston<\/a>&nbsp;earlier Saturday, making it the first time since Feb. 8, 2025, that the teams ranked Nos. 1 and 2 in the poll lost on the same day.<\/p>\n<p>With his dad, former Duke and NBA star Carlos Boozer, in attendance, Cameron Boozer hit a 3-pointer with 1:55 left to give the Blue Devils a 64-58 lead.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/mens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/5061585\/isaiah-evans\">Isaiah Evans<\/a>&nbsp;added 14 points for the Blue Devils (25-2), who could return to Capital One Arena in just over a month for the East Regional of the NCAA Tournament.<\/p>\n<p>In the programs' first meeting in 12 years, Duke improved to 23-8 against Michigan and 7-0 on neutral courts, a series that includes the 1992 national title game. Michigan hasn't beaten Duke since Dec. 6, 2009 in Ann Arbor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/mens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/5175737\/yaxel-lendeborg\">Yaxel Lendeborg<\/a>&nbsp;scored 21 points for the Wolverines (25-2), who had not lost since a home defeat by three points to Wisconsin on Jan. 10.<\/p>\n<p>While second-year coach Dusty May&rsquo;s Michigan squad has been hailed for unselfishness, Jon Scheyer&rsquo;s Blue Devils showed more versatility on the offensive end.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/mens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/4711256\/caleb-foster\">Caleb Foster<\/a>&nbsp;scored 12 points and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/mens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/4873209\/patrick-ngongba-ii\">Patrick Ngongba II<\/a>&nbsp;added 11 as Duke found soft spots in the Wolverines&rsquo; top-rated defense.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Duke won the rebounding battle 41-28 as Michigan settled for too many one-and-done perimeter shots, going 6 of 25 from 3-point range.<\/p>\n<p>Fans traded chants of &ldquo;Let&rsquo;s go Duke!&rdquo; and &ldquo;Let&rsquo;s go Blue!&rdquo; for the rare must-see matchup in a city starved for meaningful basketball. ESPN&rsquo;s &ldquo;College GameDay&rdquo; was broadcast from inside the arena during the teams&rsquo; morning shootaround, and tickets for upper-level seats were selling in the $600 range in the hours before the game, with courtside seats upwards of $6,000.<\/p>\n<p>Defense had the upper hand in a spirited, physical first half in which neither team led by more than five points. Ngongba was fouled while fighting for a rebound with 0.8 seconds left and made both free throws to give the Blue Devils a 35-33 lead at the break.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, Duke never trailed again.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cameron Boozer and No. 3 Duke knock off No. 1 Michigan 68-63 as top 2 teams lose on same day BY AP February 21, 2026 WASHINGTON &#8212; &mdash;&nbsp;Cameron Boozer&nbsp;scored 18 points and No. 3&nbsp;Duke&nbsp;handed another neutral-site loss to fellow blueblood&nbsp;Michigan, knocking off the top-ranked Wolverines 68-63 on Saturday night in a raucous possible Final Four preview in the nation&#8217;s capital. &#8230; <\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazellegroup.com\/main\/blog\/edward-jones-capital-showcase-presented-by-bad-boy-mowers-recap\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>#3 Duke vs #1 Michigan RECAP - Gazelle Group<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gazellegroup.com\/main\/blog\/edward-jones-capital-showcase-presented-by-bad-boy-mowers-recap\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"#3 Duke vs #1 Michigan RECAP - Gazelle Group\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Cameron Boozer and No. 3 Duke knock off No. 1 Michigan 68-63 as top 2 teams lose on same day BY AP February 21, 2026 WASHINGTON -- &mdash;&nbsp;Cameron Boozer&nbsp;scored 18 points and No. 3&nbsp;Duke&nbsp;handed another neutral-site loss to fellow blueblood&nbsp;Michigan, knocking off the top-ranked Wolverines 68-63 on Saturday night in a raucous possible Final Four preview in the nation&#039;s capital. ...
