Bobby Hurley had been out with a
broken foot and Grant Hill came down
with a sprained ankle. That appeared
to leave Duke without a point guard.
But Hurley made an unexpected
return to the Blue Devils’ lineup
Wednesday night and led a second-half
surge that gave Duke a 76-67 Atlantic
Coast Conference victory over
Virginia.
“Needless to say, I wasn’t expecting
anything like this,” Hurley said after
handing out nine assists — including
four in a crucial second-half sequence
— scoring four points and committing
only one turnover in 26 minutes.
In other action involving Top 25

Michigan was upset by Wisconsin 96-
78 and No. 18 Georgetown lost to
Seton Hall, 73-71 in overtime. .
Hurley, who broke his foot in a Feb.
5 loss to North Carolina, made his
return one day after Duke lost Hill.
Duke (22-2,12-2) was nursing a 51-
47 edge with 11 minutes left when
Hurley took over. He fed Christian
Laettner for a dunk and Thomas Hill
for a short jumper on consecutive pos-
sessions. On Duke’s next trip down the
floor, Hurley passed up an open
jumper and flipped a pass to Laettner
for a 3-pointer. Laettner scored 32
points and grabbed 13 rebounds.
