Duke, Clemson Clash on Wednesday
The Duke Blue Devils, a perennial powerhouse, is playing very well right now and will hit the road to face the Clemson Tigers on Wednesday. The Tigers will be eager to add a fourth consecutive win to their own tally.
The Blue Devils are shooting for the Top 10 and have won five in a row, powered by the great play of freshman star Brandon Ingram.
