Game Day -- Clemson

Duke didn't get the luxury of enjoying its important win over No 16 Virginia Thursday night. The Blue Devils traveled to South Carolina's Upstate region on Saturday and will face Clemson tonight at 6 p.m.

The No. 8 Blue Devils (14-2, 2-0 in ACC)  seek their second consecutive ACC road win. That's no small accomplishment considering Duke lost three ACC road games last season, including their final two against Virginia Tech and North Carolina.

Here's the preview story from today's Herald-Sun.

After another wacky Saturday in college basketball, the Blue Devils find themselves all alone atop the ACC standings. Every other league member has at least one ACC loss, including No. 3 UNC's epic fail at Florida State on Saturday.

Duke is also set up to move higher in the AP Top 25 rankings. In addition to UNC's loss, No.6 Michigan State saw its 15-game winning streak end with an 81-74  loss at Northwestern on Saturday. All told, ranked teams went 5-6 Friday and Saturday.
