CHICAGO -- It took about 10 minutes for Duke's Cameron Boozer to score a point Thursday.

The 6-9, 250-pound freshman forward eventually heated up during a frigid Thanksgiving night at the United Center and finished with a game-high 35 points as No. 4 Duke beat No. 22 Arkansas 80-71.

Boozer shot 13 for 18 from the field, 2 for 4 from three-point range and 7 for 11 at the free-throw line. He entered the game averaging 21.1 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. He grabbed nine rebounds against the Hogs to fall one short of his fifth double-double in eight games this season.

Boozer's 35 points -- usually scored after pump fakes on a glued pivot foot -- tied a career-high from a 100-62 win Nov. 14 against Indiana State. Arkansas guard Darius Acuff Jr., also a freshman, led the Hogs with 21 point
