Notre Dame took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Duke, who comes in off a win.

Meanwhile, after a 85-82 finish the last time they played, Notre Dame and North Carolina State decided to play a little more cautiously this time around. The Fighting Irish lost 54-52 to the Wolfpack on a last-minute layup From DJ Burns Jr. Notre Dame got off to an early lead (up 12 with 10:25 left in the first quarter), but sadly they weren't able to maintain that momentum.

Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Notre Dame struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only five offensive rebounds. They were crushed by their opponents in that department as North Carolina State pulled down 17 offensive rebounds.

The Blue Devils' victory was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-3. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 89.4 points per game. As for the Fighting Irish, their loss dropped their record down to 6-8.

This contest is shaping up to be a blowout: Duke just can't miss this season, having made 49.7% of their shots per game. It's a different story for Notre Dame, though, as they've only made 40.8% of their shots per game this season. Given Duke's sizeable advantage in that area, Notre Dame will need to find a way to close that gap.

As for their next game, Duke is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 14.5 points. This contest will be their 11th straight as the favorites (so far over this stretch they are 6-4 against the spread).
