Freshman Derryck Thornton dealt with foul trouble for much of the night, but played solid defense on Xavier Rathan-Mayes and scored seven points, showing no ill effects of the shoulder injury suffered in his last game.

The Chronicle's Brian Pollack and Sameer Pandhare look ahead to Duke's last road game of the season, as the No. 15 Blue Devils head to the Petersen Events Center Sunday at 2 p.m. to take on Jamie Dixon's Pittsburgh squad. Just two days after receiving an official reprimand from the ACC for tripping an opponent, Grayson Allen will have to deal with another physical, athletic Panther squad, headlined by Jamel Artis and James Robinson.
