Last Week: W @ Pitt 79-64, W vs GT 66-53, W @ ND 83-61; Next Week: vs St Johns 2/2
Mid-point outlook: Positive, the young-but-talented Blue Devils have been battle-tested, winning 4-straight since their upset loss to Syracuse, including a victory over a top-5 team in Virginia, and double digit victories over Pitt, GT and Notre Dame. Duke now sits alone atop the conference.

Last Week: W vs Wake 68-45, W @ ND 82-55; Next Week: @ NC State 1/29, vs Miami 2/2
