Predicting Duke basketball record in ACC play next season: Group Four

Since 2000, Duke is a perfect 13-0 against Clemson in Cameron Indoor Stadium. In fact, the Tigers have not come away with a road win in the series since January of 1995.

Although Tony Bennett’s squad is still defending national champions, the Hoos have only notched one win in the last 15 tries in Durham. Under Bennett, Virginia is just 1-5 in Cameron.

63. 446. 67. 434. Prediction

Duke splits its visits to Atlanta and Louisville in their second meetings with the Jackets and Cardinals. The Devils are 13-2 in the last two decades against Georgia Tech in Atlanta and come away with an easy W:

66. 436. Prediction. 77. 434

434. 74. 438. Prediction. 66

Record: 13-3
