Duke dodges Vermont's upset bid

Out-of-sync - and overconfident - Duke needed a free throw from Rodney Hood with 5 seconds left to dodge the Catamounts' upset bid and win 91-90.

''They were terrific,'' Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said, ''and we were awful.''

Jabari Parker scored 26 points in his sixth straight 20-point performance. Hood finished with 22 for Duke (5-1), which extended its nonconference winning streak at Cameron Indoor Stadium to 106 games.
