Cameron Boozer piled up 24 points and 13 rebounds as No. 1 Duke ran away from Notre Dame to a comfortable 100-56 win on Tuesday night in South Bend, Ind.

Boozer collected his 16th double-double of the season and added two assists and three steals for the Blue Devils (26-2, 14-1 ACC). Caleb Foster and Patrick Ngongba II each scored 13 points, Isaiah Evans and Cayden Boozer each tallied 10 points and Darren Harris scored a career-best 16 off the bench.

Brady Koehler and Cole Certa netted 14 points apiece to pace Notre Dame (12-16, 3-12) in what was the 12th loss for the Fighting Irish in their last 14 games. Sir Mohammed chipped in 11 points.

The game was never close as Duke led wire-to-wire after jumping out to a 20-4 lead. That game-opening surge was highlighted by Boozer throwing down an impressive right-handed dunk off an assist from Ngongba. By halftime, the Blue Devils were more than doubling up the Irish, leading 54-22.

Boozer’s first-half stats nearly matched Notre Dame’s output as a team. He had 20 points and nine rebounds at the break, while the Irish had 22 points and 10 boards.

To make matters worse for Notre Dame, a team spokesperson said that head coach Micah Shrewsberry injured his Achilles at some point near the end of the first half. At halftime, Irish freshman center Tommy Ahneman had to help Shrewsberry off the floor. When Notre Dame came out of the locker room for the second half, its third-year head coach was wearing a black walking boot on his left foot.

Duke continued to pour it on, going on to lead by as many as 46 points. It was the Blue Devils’ largest margin of victory against an ACC opponent this season, and the fifth time this season they’ve scored at least 100 points.

The loss for Notre Dame ensures that it will finish the regular season with a losing record for the fourth consecutive year.

Duke scored 23 points off 15 Notre Dame turnovers.

Charlie Woods' U.S. Junior run ends with bogey in playoff

Charlie Woods watches his tee shot during the 109th Florida Amateur Championship at The Club at Admiral's Cove on June 11, 2026, in Jupiter, Florida.Charlie Woods watches his tee shot during the 109th Florida Amateur Championship at The Club at Admiral’s Cove on June 11, 2026, in Jupiter, Florida.

Charlie Woods’ run at the 2026 U.S. Junior Amateur ended early Wednesday with a bogey on the first playoff hole.

The 17-year-old son of Tiger Woods fell shy of advancing to match play at Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pa.

Charlie Woods was one of 14 golfers in the playoff, competing for two spots in match play. The Florida State commit went 76-70 in stroke play, topping his previous performances of 80-74 in 2025 and 82-80 in 2024.

Woods was 6-over-par through five holes in Monday’s round before rebounding strong and playing his next 31 holes in 1-under par.

In Wednesday’s playoff, Woods’ tee shot at the par-5 first hole found the middle of the fairway, about 270 yards from the hole. With two players ahead of him having already carded birdies, he went for the green in two but found thick rough. His pitch ended up on the fringe and his birdie chip slid past the hole, ending his day.

Eli Wessel, Hudson Kutchma and Leo Gao birdied to advance to the second playoff hole, where Wessel and Kutchma made pars to move on to match play.

Woods is heading into his senior season of high school and is expected to sign with the Seminoles, where he will join No. 1-ranked junior Miles Russell in the 2027 recruiting class. Russell shared medalist honors this week and entered match play as the No. 2 seed.

Woods entered the week ranked No. 174 by the American Junior Golf Association.

The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame will break with tradition Friday when it opens an exhibition highlighting the career of Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry. No other player in league history has received such an honor while still active.

The exhibition is titled “Stephen Curry: Beyond the Arc” and takes a look at the four-time NBA champion and two-time MVP both on and off the court. Curry’s business team partnered with the Hall of Fame on the project.

“The exhibit is designed to explore his multifaceted legacy as a basketball icon, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and family man,” the Hall of Fame said in a news release.

This will be the first look at Curry’s legacy at the Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., but not the last. He is certain of being selected for enshrinement into the hall as soon as he is eligible, post-retirement.

“When I think about my journey, I think about the people who believed in me, the work that happened when nobody was watching and the moments that shaped me on and off the court,” said Curry, 38.

“To have that story told while I’m still playing is something I don’t take lightly. My hope is that fans walk through this experience and feel the joy, the purpose and the gratitude that basketball has given me, and maybe see a little bit of their own journey in it too.”

A closing date has not been set for the exhibition.

Cardinals OL Isaiah Adams facing gun charges in Canada

Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams (74) watches from the sidelines during the team's practice at State Farm Stadium on July 29, 2025.Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams (74) watches from the sidelines during the team’s practice at State Farm Stadium on July 29, 2025.

Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams is facing multiple charges related to a guns and gangs investigation in his native Canada.

Adams turned himself into Durham Regional Police in the Toronto area on Sunday on charges of possessing a weapon by crime, possessing a restricted or prohibited firearm without a license, possessing a loaded firearm and possessing a prohibited device.

His 27-year-old sister, Allyson Mae Adams, was charged with the same crimes as part of the investigation.

Adams, who turned 26 on Tuesday, has since returned to Arizona and is expected to report to training camp on Wednesday, according to ESPN. The Cardinals begin practice on Thursday.

The Cardinals said Tuesday that they were aware of the situation.

“Out of respect for the process, we will refrain from commenting further at this time,” a team spokesperson said.

A third-round draft pick by Arizona in 2024, the 6-foot-4, 315-pound Adams appeared in 32 games with 16 starts in his first two NFL seasons. He is expected to compete with rookie Chase Bistonis for the starting job at right guard.
