Under Jim Larrañaga, the Hurricanes have had their share of success against Duke, one of college basketball's powerhouse programs and an Atlantic Coast Conference blue blood.
Since Larrañaga's arrival in Coral Gables ahead of the 2011-12 season, Miami's men's basketball team has posted a 4-2 record against the Blue Devils, winning at Cameron Indoor Stadium twice. But with the Hurricanes traveling to take on the 18th-ranked Blue Devils (14-4, 2-3) in a prime time showdown on Saturday, the veteran coach understands this particular group of Hurricanes might face a different kind of challenge than some of his past teams.
