The Opponent: Duke Blue Devils

Record: 23-7 (11-6)

Leading Scorer: Luke Kennard (19.9 ppg). The lefty has had a huge jump in production from his freshman year. Coming into the year, everyone thought he would play in the shadow of Grayson Allen, and to some extent he still has. Allen has been in the media for all the wrong reasons. Meanwhile, Kennard is having himself an ACC Player of the Year type season.

W/L vs AP Top 25: 6-3. Wins (Rhode Island, Florida, Notre Dame, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida State). Losses (Kansas, Florida State, Louisville).
