Winners of five straight games, the Duke Blue Devils return home after back-to-back games away from Cameron Indoor Stadium to face the only team in the country that might be hotter than they are.
The Virginia Cavaliers enter Saturday's matchup in Durham having won nine consecutive games, emerging as a surprising contender in the ACC in Ryan Odom's first year on the bench.
This game has massive implications in the ACC regular-season title race. A win by Duke would allow the Blue Devils to effectively clinch the conference championship. A win for Virginia would put the Cavs in the driver's seat.
This will be the toughest ACC competition for Duke since the road loss to North Carolina, but the Blue Devils are riding high after last week's neutral site win over then-No. 1 Michigan.
