Duke basketball has a few days off before it hosts Wake Forest on Saturday, Jan. 24.
Coming off a successful West Coast swing, the No. 6 Blue Devils (17-1, 6-0 ACC) will continue league play against the Demon Deacons on Saturday at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Duke opened its trip out West with a 71-56 win over Cal on Jan. 14 and closed it with an 80-50 rout over the Cardinal on Jan. 17.

The Blue Devils became the second team in the ACC to sweep their West Coast slate, and first this season, joining the Demon Deacons, who did it last season.
Cameron Boozer led scoring in both, putting up 21 against Cal – 17 in the second half – and 30 against Stanford. The freshman has now logged nine double-doubles on the season and is back atop the ACC, averaging 23.2 points per game. Isaiah Evans is now up to five-straight games in double-figures, with 17 against the Golden Bears and 15 against the Cardinal.
The trip also marked arguably the best defensive performances by the Blue Devils this season. They held Cal to a season-low 26 points in the second half on 31.8% shooting and held Stanford to 50 points on 35.2% shooting. Cardinal guard Ebuka Okorie entered the contest coming off a 36-point outing and was the league’s leading scorer, but was held to nine points on 33.3% shooting.
With the wins, Duke remains atop ACC standings and is one of two remaining undefeated teams in the league alongside Clemson.
