Duke Basketball: Blue Devils gear up for Irish’s ‘National Championship’

The Duke Blue Devils are back on the road in South Bend as Notre Dame will welcome Duke into the Purcell Pavilion.

The Blue Devils are riding a three game winning streak after falling to Syracuse on ESPN’s Big Monday two weeks ago. Since that time the Blue Devils defeated then No. 4 Virginia, Pittsburgh, and Georgia Tech.

In two of those three games Duke was without Tre Jones, but the freshman guard returned on Saturday in the win over Georgia Tech.

Duke struggled mightily on Saturday for the first 25 minutes against the Yellow Jackets, losing by two points at halftime and down by as many as eight points in the second half, before the Blue Devils woke up and used a 13-0 run to down the Yellow Jackets.
