Scheyer had career highs of 36 points and nine assists to lead No. 7 Duke past Gardner-Webb 113-68 on Tuesday night.
He was 11 of 13 from the field, had 24 points by halftime and finished with a personal-best seven 3-pointers to lead the Blue Devils (8-1). And as his stat line inched closer to a triple-double, his teammates joked that he earned a taste of the silent treatment.
"You don't talk about it," forward Mason Plumlee said with a smile. "If he's not missing, don't mess with him."
Auryn MacMillan scored 14 points and C.J. Hailey added 11 to lead Gardner-Webb (3-5). The Runnin' Bulldogs turned it over 23 times and went more than 6 minutes without putting the ball through the rim in losing their fifth straight.
Freshman Andre Dawkins scored 16 emotional points while playing for the first time since his sister was killed in a car accident 1½ weeks earlier while driving to see Duke's game against St. John's.
Miles Plumlee and Brian Zoubek had 13 points apiece, while Nolan Smith added 11 and Kyle Singler, playing through a sprained right ankle, also finished with 11 — all in the second half.
