Two of the "Three Keys" from Dudog's link.
• Duke has held its last three opponents (Wisconsin - 53; Marist - 56; UNLV - 38) to season low points. The Blue Devil defense has held those opponents to only 49.0 points, 33.5 percent shooting, 25.0 percent from downtown and only 29.0 rebounds a game.
• The Blue Devils boast an eight-game winning streak at home in Cameron Indoor Stadium against ranked opponents. The last loss came Feb. 1, 2016 to third-ranked Notre Dame.
The first one is good news, I'm not so optimistic about continuing the streak in the second one. However, even though SC is ranked, they have yet to beat a ranked team this season.
Each of the ranked teams they've played have all been in the top 10, so it's a bit weighted.
(All home games. Oregon State, 9th, Maryland, 9th, and Baylor, 4th)
