The No. 2 Duke Blue Devils (19-2) look to keep their road dominance intact, aiming for their sixth straight away victory when they take on the Syracuse Orange (10-12) on Wednesday at JMA Wireless Dome.
Duke enters this matchup as the undisputed leader of the ACC, boasting an impressive 19-2 record with an unblemished 11-0 conference mark. Their season started with two straight wins, followed by a setback against Kentucky. After bouncing back with two more victories, they suffered another defeat at the hands of Kansas. However, since that loss, the Blue Devils have been on an absolute tear, rattling off 15 consecutive wins.
Their most recent showdown against North Carolina was a statement performance, as they seized control just two minutes into the game and never looked back. By halftime, Duke had built a commanding 22-point lead and cruised to an 87-70 victory over their fierce rivals.
On the other hand, Syracuse has endured an up-and-down campaign, currently sitting 11th in the ACC with a 10-12 record (4-7 in conference play). Their season has been marked by streaky performances, with neither their longest winning nor longest losing streak exceeding three games. In their last outing against Cal, Syracuse took charge early and never relinquished the lead. A 17-point halftime cushion set the stage for a 75-66 win, snapping their three-game skid.
