The Duke Blue Devils currently sit at 7-2 in the ACC and 17-3 overall as they head into a critical week with concern to team development and the standings.
It is like this... if Duke loses tonight against the Irish, they drop to a half-game lead over North Carolina who plays at Louisville tomorrow night. A win there for the Tar Heels would tie the two teams headed into their Saturday showdown but two losses in a row would put Duke in fifth or sixth place. So, yeah, this is a big week.
The Tar Heels will have ESPN's gameday on-site and along with the Irish, they are battling the Blue Devils for the top of the league. As fans, we can look ahead a bit but it is dangerous to do so for the team.
That means the Blue Devils' sole focus needs to be on the Fighting Irish and for more than just one reason. Notre Dame and Duke share identical conference records, so something has to give. The Irish own the ACC's longest winning streak and they are 9-0 at home in South Bend this season.
Do you need more of a warning tonight's game is a tough matchup? Notre Dame is 11-1 in their last 12 games and they have wins over Kentucky and North Carolina. Mike Brey's team stumbled a bit early on but they have righted the ship and they are playing good basketball with a solid rotation.
Duke, on the other hand, has been mildly inconsistent dealing with injuries but they show flashes of brilliance at times. It is unknown at this time whether Trevor Keels will play tonight and his absence takes away another weapon while shortening the Duke bench of players ready to play.
The good news for Duke which traveled straight to South Bend after they defeated Louisville is that they have a long break before the contest they should not be thinking about after tonight. The better news is that they are the more talented team than the Irish but that does not always translate into a win.
The Blue Devils need to play well in the paint for they should have an advantage there. Paolo Banchero is better when he crashes the boards as evidenced by his 15 rebounds in his last outing. In the win over Louisville, it at times seemed Duke made the game harder than it should be until AJ Griffin erupted and carried the team on his back.
This is the time of the season when stress builds, legs get weary and the road grind takes a toll from jumping on and off flights in short order. A team with younger players feel this double for they have not been through said grind before. In short, Duke needs to refresh a bit but first, they need to find enough in the tank to take care of business tonight.
So, any way you cut it this is a tough week for the Blue Devils. It is their second and third road games against upper-level teams in the ACC and in hostile environments. We are all looking forward to talking about Mike Krzyzewski's last game in Chapel Hill, but first things first.

<title>Duke Must Avoid Trap Game vs Louisville</title>

The first thing some may think with the pending Duke vs Louisville game on Saturday is that the Blue Devils are heavy favorites. While Duke is indeed the favorite I expect a tougher test than before the Cardinals decided to part ways with former head coach Chris Mack
The reasoning is that teams generally rally around the wagon when a coach or player is down. In their minds, they have less to lose while realizing they have to step through a new door of change. By making a change, a proud basketball program may show up in a brand new way come game time. And it is so easy for some to throw out there the Louisville program is in disarray while avoiding the fact that all players point to the Duke game as one of the biggest of their careers. In short, Louisville will in no way roll over.
Another thing that makes the Cardinals a tough team to prepare for is that they play a lot of players. One quick look at the stats will show this and that means there are more players who can step up on a certain evening therefore all must be guarded well. And trying to figure out which players could play well is not easy when scouting a team that still sits at a respectable 5-5 in the conference and 11-9 overall.
Some are saying the Louisville team quit on Mack in his last couple of games. If that is true, they are sure to step up their game. You see, intangibles are a part of the game yet they are more often than not overlooked. 
What Duke needs to do is try to get Louisville into a running game and not a half-court slugfest. The Blue Devils will need to be on point with concern to their focus in this one and if at all possible, have a good start. Duke has been streaky of late and at some point, they need to become more consistent with their efforts. 
It is still unknown whether Trevor Keels will suit up for Duke. The sooner the better for chemistry and while the fanbase can look ahead realizing Duke must leave Louisville for South Bend on Monday night, the team will need a one-game focus to have success and stay near the top of the ACC standings.
This will be the last time Mike Krzyzewski is playing Louisville at the Yum Center. And he will not likely address the fact he wishes Louisville would have waited to make a change after Duke was in town for he knows the intangibles I speak of well. 
So any of you expecting an easy win, I hope you are right. But from my vantage, this can be a trap game if the Blue Devils do not come out with their energy.

The Duke Blue Devils travel to Tallahassee, Fl. to take on the Florida State Seminoles in a game that tips off at 9:00 on ESPN. The pesky Noles have won three straight games and sit at 10-5 in need of a marquee win.
While last season's games were both canceled, most Duke followers are aware that these games are always close and tonight should be no different. The Blue Devils have been labeled a 5 point favorite.
As usual, Florida State will play a lot of players. In fact, no less than eleven rostered players averaged double-figure minutes. While Seminoles guard Caleb Mills leads the way on offense, the Noles get contributions from different rotation players meaning you have to guard all of them.
It would be wise for the Blue Devils to push the Seminoles off the three-point stripe for they have a lot of guys who can nail open looks. In fact, five of their top six scorers are guards
Duke will once again have a size advantage in this outing. In the last two games and especially the win over N.C. State the Blue Devils have had success with their bigs against smaller teams. This recent trend comes after a team meeting after the Miami loss.
The staff hopes their big men playing well and taking advantage of their size becomes a staple. It almost has to be the case considering the Blue Devils rotation has large wings and a three-man rotation around the paint if you include Paolo Banchero.
Speaking of Paolo Banchero, he is coming off some energetic performances that earned him ACC Rookie of the Week honors. The top-rated draft prospect is better when he mixes his offensive game up a bit.
Duke will almost assuredly get the Seminoles best shot. They're always hungry when Duke comes to town and their guys will try to up their game with a primetime focus on the matchup. 
The Blue Devils need a win here in a hostile environment against an upper-echelon ACC team to remain near the top of the league. 
I am expecting Duke to pull this one out but feel certain it will be a hard-fought contest until the final buzzer goes off. This is one of those games where you just want the win.
