What I do know is that Duke comes into the game tonight with a record of 5-5 while they’re 3-3 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and ninth in the Atlantic Coast Conference standings! “according to theacc.com/standings

Why?

Because they’ve lost their last three games to Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh and Louisville!
