It was a relatively easy start to ACC play for Duke, which opened the league schedule on Saturday with an 81-64 win at Boston College. The Eagles were picked to finish dead last in the conference, though, so not much can be taken from that victory.
Things will get much tougher in the ACC for the Blue Devils, starting with Wednesday's trip to Wake Forest and continuing on until March.
As good as Duke looked on Saturday, shooting 55 percent and leading comfortably almost throughout, there are some things it still has to prove in order to be a true contender in the ACC.
