The Blue Devils (5-2 overall) led just 24-17 at the break after they missed 14 of their first 15 three-pointers, but they hit five of 12 from downtown in the second half to get going.

“The first half was ugly, but once we started to hit some threes that forced them to go man-to-man and they couldn’t keep up with us,” RCC head coach Scott Koenigs said.
