- Duke is the only team in the top five nationally in both offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency, currently ranked third in defense and fourth in offense.
- Duke’s five games versus AP top 15 ranked opponents are the most in the nation, and the Blue Devils are 4-1 in those games. All have come away from home.
- Fresh off a 32-point effort at Florida State, freshman RJ Barrett continues to lead the ACC in scoring at 23.
