After defeating Elon 75-62, Duke is 9-0 on the season and will look to continue the streak Thursday night against Connecticut. Duke has looked dominant at times this season, and the offense was nearly unstoppable in the road win at Wisconsin earlier this month.
Unfortunately for Duke, Wisconsin is the team’s only big-time win to date this season. Michigan State, which the Blue Devils beat earlier, has already lost three games, and UConn’s early struggles have cost Duke a chance at another big-time victory.
Michigan State is likely to improve—it always does—making Duke’s win look better, but for now, Duke has just the one big-time nonconference trophy head. With Duke looking to pace Kentucky as the top teams in the country, it needs all the big-time wins it can get. Kentucky has already defeated two Top 10 teams in Texas and Kansas.
With conference play coming up, Duke will have more chances to beat highly ranked teams. Here are the top five most important games remaining on the Blue Devils’ schedule.
