Duke had a solid game against Wake Forest Tuesday night and then had to kind of strap things down in the last 3:00 minutes or so. Clearly, Duke needs to work on late game management. But they still won, 75-73 and move to 16-6 and 7-4 in the ACC.
Duke ran out to an 8-2 lead before the Demon Deacons pushed back when Andrew Carr hit a three to cut it to 8-5. Duke seemed like it was poised to get some separation but Wake kept fighting back.
The Blue Devils did get some separation when Jeremy Roach hit a layup with 2:06 to go in the first to put Duke up 38-32.
