DURHAM, N.C. -- Forward Bonzie Colson scored 31 points, including a go-ahead three-point play in the final minute, as Notre Dame defeated No. 9 Duke 95-91 on Saturday afternoon at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Guard Demetrius Jackson poured in 24 points and guard Steve Vasturia had 22 points as the Irish (12-5, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) avenged a 30-point loss on this court a year ago.

Duke freshman guard Luke Kennard tallied 30 points and freshman forward Brandon Ingram scored 25.

Notre Dame guard Rex Pflueger's 3-pointer as the shot clock was winding down sent the Irish to an 86-80 edge with slightly more than three minutes left.

Guard Grayson Allen's layup put Duke on top, 87-86, as part of a 7-0 spurt. Jackson responded with a jumper for Notre Dame with a minute left.

Allen's two free throws with 47 seconds left regained the lead for Duke (14-4, 3-2), which lost for the second game in a row.

Colson converted the three-point play with 35 seconds remaining before Duke guard Matt Jones missed a potential go-ahead 3-pointer.

Jackson hit two free throws at the 12.8-second mark. He missed the front end of a one-and-one with four seconds left, but Irish forward Zach Auguste snatched the rebound and then made two clinching free throws.

Allen ended up with 18 points.

Colson, a sophomore coming off the bench this week for the first time this season, has reached the 17-point mark four times in his career. Two of those have been games against Duke.

Duke held a 50-45 halftime advantage, marking the third time in a four-game period that it tallied 50 first-half points.

Notre Dame didn't lead until 35-34 late in the first half, but Duke scored the next seven points.

Five players reached double-digit scoring totals in the first half.

Ingram scored 14 first-half points despite sitting out a stretch with two fouls. He was tagged with his fourth foul with 17:14 to play.

The Irish scored 11 of the first 12 points in the second half to take a 56-51 lead. Duke went without a field goal for more than three minutes to start the half.
