NC State @ Duke

Current Records: NC State 22-8; Duke 21-8

What to Know

After a three-game homestand, the NC State Wolfpack will be on the road. NC State and the Duke Blue Devils will face off in an ACC battle at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Coming off of a loss in a game they were expected to win, the Wolfpack nows face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.

NC State has to be hurting after a devastating 96-71 defeat at the hands of the Clemson Tigers this past Saturday. Guard Terquavion Smith wasn't much of a difference maker for NC State; Smith finished with ten points on 3-for-15 shooting in his 29 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, the Virginia Tech Hokies typically have all the answers at home, but this past Saturday Duke proved too difficult a challenge. Duke had enough points to win and then some against the Hokies, taking their matchup 81-65. The Blue Devils' success was spearheaded by the efforts of guard Jeremy Roach, who posted a double-double on 19 points and ten dimes along with five rebounds, and forward Mark Mitchell, who had 17 points in addition to eight boards.

The Wolfpack are expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Pittsburgh Panthers Dec. 2 easily too and instead slipped up with a 68-60. In other words, don't count Duke out just yet.
