Duke Going For The Sweep In Chapel Hill

Frank Jackson is coming off not only his first start of the season but his best game  of the year Tuesday against Florida State where he scored 22 points and led Duke to a 75-70 win on senior night at Cameron.

Frank Jackson was shooting from everywhere on the court if he wasn't shooting a three -pointer he was driving to make a layup over Florida State while he helped Duke build a 19-point lead by scoring 13 points in the first 4 1/2 minutes of the second half, taking the game over with three 3s in that span. That included a heat-checker over the 6-10 Isaac that made it 49-30 with about 15 1/2 minutes left.

Luke Kennard and Jayson Tatum each contributed 17 and 15 points respectively. "according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_OEM_ID=4200&ATCLID=211508753

Frank Jackson will be making his second consecutive start in Chapel Hill Saturday night in primetime,  Will he have a sensational game like he did against Florida State? How will he react to the hostile environment in his first start at North Carolina?  Will Duke sweep the season series? 

North Carolina meanwhile has a record of  25-6 13-4 in the ACC and is coming off a 53-43 loss in Charlottesville where they were plagued by turnovers most of the night while Virginia scored 18 points off their turnovers while Justin Jackson was held in check by London Perrantes most of the night as he was just 3-10 while he air-balled his first shot of the night and never got into a rhythm while Virginia's defense made it incredibly difficult for North Carolina to get the ball inside.
