NCAA's 'official' box score wrong on Duke-Hampton

Check ncaa.com for the “official” box score of the Duke-Hampton game, and you’ll see that Duke won 87-47.

Except the Blue Devils actually won 87-45, and the NCAA’s online version of the box score is riddled with errors.

Hampton’s Brandon Tunnell was credited with an extra field goal and Darrion Pellum with an extra missed field goal, as the Pirates were 19-for-55 from the field, not 20-for-57. The Pirates had 29 rebounds, not 22; and four assists, not three.

Duke, meanwhile, was 32-for-60 from the field, not 32-for-59 -- Kyle Singler was 4-for-9 from the field, not 4-for-8. Duke had 38 rebounds, not 35.

I wasn't going to be able to sleep, thinking that it was only a 40 point win. Thank you for my undisturbed zzzzs...
