Duke appears to be catching fire at just the right time to make things interesting. It was no secret coming into the season that youth and inexperience could potentially lead to problems for the Blue Devils. Duke is at home and has more depth than Syr and they have the edge with rebounding.

Matthew Hurt is shooting out of his mind right now, and with the game being at home, he’ll continue to be the most dominant player on the floor. He hasn’t shot below 62.5 percent from 3-pointer in his last three games.


Syracuse hasn’t played well on the road this season, and they’ll be facing a Blue Devils team that suddenly believes. Take DUKE on Monday night.
