Preview: Duke Blue Devils vs the Syracuse Orange

Syracuse and Duke both come in Saturday in need of a win to keep pace in a tough top half of the ACC. The Blue Devils are 11-2 in ACC play and the Orange are 9-4 - just 2 games off the lead and Duke remains in a 3-way first place tie with UNC and Virginia. With very few ACC games left each outing is important for both teams. Former Duke recruit Tyus Battle leads the Orange in scoring at 17.2 per game, Frank Howard leads the team in assists at 2.8 per game and Oshae Brissett is the leading rebounder at 7.
