Duke is putting a run together to try and finish the season on a high note. it may be too little too late for them to make the Big Dance if they don't win the ACC Tournament. They are coming off a huge win over Virginia and in their last five games, they are winning by an average of 6.6 points and are shooting 52.5 percent from the field. Syracuse has not played well on the road this season and I don't expect them to start today.
