Let’s take a look at what’s been working for Duke over the team’s five-game win streak.
Duke has won five straight games since the loss at Clemson and has won all but one game by 20 or more points over that stretch. This was the Blue Devils’ 13th win by 25 or more points this season.
Tyrese Proctor for Duke ended up getting hurt in this game and would not return as he landed awkwardly on his left knee in the first half.
Duke went on to win the game 97-60, continuing the sheer domination the Blue Devils have displayed over their last several contests.
