Trap game #2 but this time with more rest.
Wake put a hurt on BC at home and might have delusions of grandeur. I hope that our guys come out smoking on O and put Wake's dreams on hold for another year.
Go Duke!!!
Duke heads to Winston-Salem to take on Wake Forest in the last road game of the season. Tip-off is set for 9 pm on Tuesday. Discuss the game here.

This is definitely at 9, right? DBR has 7pm listed on the home page.

Wake is now 4-10 in the conference, ahead of Boston College and Georgia Tech, and even with VaTech.
IMO they are now playing better than BC and GaTech, but really not on a level with the Hokies; many of Wake's losses have been lopsided.
Living in the Winston-Salem area, I really don't hear much from the Wake fans; they are certainly not beating their chests, but for the most part not calling for Bzdelik's head.
He seems to have weeded out a few bad apples, improved team play somewhat, and has a pretty decent class coming in next year.
I don't think this game will be close; the Devils have some goals in sight, and want to take care of business before Saturday's fun.
I'm curious to see how Mason does in this game; Wake doesn't have a lot of inside muscle, but they are long.
This is what I'm looking for against Wake. Mason has a chance to get back on track against a decent but not great frontline. Ty Walker is a 7 footer that can block shots. Look for Mason to get him into foul trouble. I also live in Winston Salem and many of my church friends are Wake fans and most aren't impressed with Bzdelik. But I think he's done an ok job this year. And as roywhite said, he has a decent recruiting class for next year. GoDuke!
In the Josh concussion vigil, someone posted a link that says Josh won't be playing tomorrow. Apparently Coach K said Michael may get some minutes at the "4" in Josh's place. It will be good to see Michael get some run and see how much he's improved over the past few weeks.
I certainly hope Josh recovers fully, but as far as injuries go, this may be somewhat of a blessing. Wake is terrible, and if we come out with any energy and attentiveness whatsoever, we should win easily. As we know concussions can be a pernicious and "coisa ruim" (hard to translate, but roughly "bad thing"). I'd much rather have a fully rested and recovered Josh vs UNC than rush him out there to maybe aggravate the concussion vs Wake. Plus, getting (shh)G more minutes in a situation where he can learn and gain confidence can only be a good thing. We may need both (shh)G and Josh vs UNC, so i hope that Josh's situation can turn into something positive for the team...
Coach K on the road against Wake Forest? 15-14...yikes.
No doubt Tim Duncan and Randolph Childress had something to do with that, but there have been some very tough and physical games against the Deacs over the years.
So is the Wake crowd halfway decent or should I not bother to wear my Duke gear, especially since I'm bringing my wife and 6 year old with me.
