The ACC schedule dictates Duke play two games over the next three days. It helps that the Blue Devils play both of them at Cameron Indoor Stadium, where they've won 44 consecutive games.
The first of the two comes tonight against Wake Forest. While the Deacs are better than the team that went 1-15 in the ACC last season, they are still far from the kind of team that should be able to beat Duke at Cameron. Travis McKie and CJ Harris are legitimate players, but Wake has no consistent threats around them.
Still, expect Wake Forest to attempt to slow the game's pace to keep Duke's point total in the low 70s. This game could be another grinder, which Duke has proven it can handle with wins over Virginia and Clemson.
Everyone around the Duke program will be curious to see how Andre Dawkins plays tonight. He's played two solid games back to back, including the 24-point night at Clemson on Sunday. Consistency, or lack of it, as held him back. Here's a link to my story in today's Herald-Sun looking at his issues.
