After a second time in episode 30+ point accuser against the victory against State Florida On Saturday evening, Duke -Basketball will return to the home for the regular season finale against the regular season Wake Forest.

The Blue Devils improved to 16-0 with a 100-65 shellacking in Florida State at the weekend at the KoF Floor coach. Four players reached double numbers under the direction of Neulingen Isaiah Evans who scored a career as the best 19 points while he had his first start as duke Improved to 17: 1 in the league game and a total of 26: 3.

It was the fourth time this season in which Duke scored the mark and the third time in the last five games. In the last five games, Blue Devil's offensive was hummed because the team scored an average of 98.6 points per game, while the opponents held only 64.8. The state of Florida was the eighth Duke opponent who loses 30 or more points, and the ninth ACC opponent, who suffers a setback of 25 or more points on the Blue Devils.

Wake Forest is not one of these teams, indeed the Demon diacons Duke harder than almost every other team in the league when the two teams met in Winston Salem at the end of January.

Duke built a lead of 15 points against the deacons on her home floor early on, but Wake Forest gathered and took a second half in the lead, while he limited the Blue Devils to a longer drought of the crime, which included 18 mistakes in 19 attempts for Jon Scheyers team.

Finally newcomer Cooper Flag (24 points) and Kon Knueppel (15) were able to increase the ship and bring the Duke to a 63-56 victory, but the game remembered that Steve Forbes' team plays a style that is certainly able to draw a surprise at all times.

“I think Wake is really good. I think the metrics are big.

A big driver of the success of Wake Forest this season was the game of the team of the team of the team from Cameron Hildeth And Hunter SallisThe team's two leading goal scorers at 15.8 and 18.5 points per game. In the first game, Duke Hildeth only limited four points to just four points in 1-of-7 shootout Tyrese Proctor And Sion James.

“We changed so much, so everyone has to guard the ball,” said Scheyer. “I thought it started with our individual defense. Tried to mix it with some other looks with them.”

Whether Duke will receive a repeated performance at this end of the court remains a mystery, since Proctors is undoubtedly in doubt for Monday Miami Last week. If he can't go, it will certainly be a blow, since Sallis will come into his last game in his last game at Cameron in his last five average 19.0 per game, while Hildeth also cooked and published 22.2 per night in the same period.

In total, Wake Forest has fought lately and lost three of her last five, including two puzzling losses Virginia At home of eight and a bad NC State team on the street at 12 noon. On Saturday the deacons finally seemed to be right and hit the ship Notre lady Around three on their home square in a game in which only five ties and four management changes were changed, the home team only listed 6:43.

Hildeth scored 28, while Sallis 17 added to get the deacons their 20th victory a year, while the Razor things of the team NCAA tournament hoped alive.

The first team to be at home this season would be a big shot in the arm for Steve Forbes teams. Fortunately for Wake Forest, the Cameron Indoor Stadium was a shooter this year -Fitness studio that a team that occupies 357th place in the country in three points (0.286) could offer hope.

Wake Forest also has to create second chance points against Duke, but that could be difficult, as the deacons were a bad offensive vetage team this year (278th in the country).

Slowing the Red Hot Offensive from Duke is a key to the Forbes team, and Wake Forest's physical style could do the work. This year, opponents are shooting less than 31 percent against the deacons and only 48 percent from the field.

According to Kenpom.com, Duke is preferred by 98 percent by 22 points to win the game.
