After a close loss to Kansas and home victory against Seattle, Duke men’s basketball rose two spots to No. 9 in this week’s AP Poll. The Blue Zone breaks down the changes in the rankings.
Although Duke secured a 77-61 win against the Lions, the game did not go smoothly for both teams. The two sides both recorded 20-plus turnovers throughout the game. Because of the rugged playstyle of this game, the winner was going to be the team with more grit.
Duke football clinched a last-second, 23-17 victory against Wake Forest to finish out the regular season 9-3. The Blue Zone breaks down the win against the Demon Deacons with three key takeaways, stats and a look ahead.
The 13th-ranked Blue Devils were hot off of their five-game win streak and came into the game against Columbia ready to continue it, taking the matchup 77-61.
In every one of those close wins, there was one constant: Diaz and Jonathan Patke’s defense made a stop to save the day. It looked different in various games, but for a defense which is often worn down to come out and perform six times, the late-game execution has been immaculate.
The Blue Devils put on a defensive masterclass while showcasing their offensive prowess as Duke earned its fourth straight shutout in the NCAA Tournament and powered 1-0 over Virginia Tech.
In their final regular season game, the Blue Devils engineered a major comeback on the road to take down Wake Forest. Quarterback Maalik Murphy delivered one final strike in his historic first season in Durham, connecting with Jordan Moore as time expired to clinch a 23-17 victory.
The answer does not need to be a complete turn from the shot, but the Blue Devils have to start taking advantage of their top-tier defense and get inside on offense, rather than settle for 3-pointers.

On the precipice of a nine-win regular season, Duke football gets its shot at 4-7 Wake Forest. Unlike the Blue Devils, who are looking for a third straight win, the Demon Deacons are in the midst of a three-game slide, accentuated by a 42-14 beatdown from Miami.
Against Kansas, at times, it was obvious that Duke needed a grow-up game. It needed to face the top-ranked, most experienced team in the nation, in a packed-out neutral site where at times it was difficult to tell if there were more fans rooting for Kansas or for Duke.

In overtime, No. 13 Duke took a 109-99 victory over eighth-ranked Oklahoma in the Ball Dawgs Classic in Nevada's Lee Family Forum.
