Analyzing past performances, Duke's recent victory over Baylor Bears at Madison Square Garden was a testament to their resilience. Despite being outrebounded 30-29, they capitalized on turnovers and showcased efficient shooting with a field goal percentage of 49 and an even more impressive free throw completion rate of 83 percent. Their assist-to-turnover ratio stood at a solid 1.75.


In another notable performance against Hofstra Pride back at Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke's offense was nothing short of spectacular with a field goal percentage of 55 percent and three-point shots hitting the mark half the time. Their defense translated into offense as they scored a remarkable 31 points off turnovers.


Against Charlotte 49ers, again in front of their home crowd, Duke maintained consistency with a field goal percentage rounding up to 50 percent while converting free throws at a rate of nearly 80 percent. Their fast-break points were significant too, adding up to seventeen – indicating that speed could be one factor that Wake Forest needs to keep in check.


The upcoming game is set against this backdrop where Duke has shown they can light up the scoreboard while also playing tight defense when it matters most. The venue itself – Cameron Indoor Stadium – is known for its electrifying atmosphere which often acts as an extra player for the home team.


Fans should expect nothing less than high energy and strategic gameplay from both sides come game day. With both teams looking sharp this season, it will undoubtedly be an exciting matchup worth watching.


Mark your calendars for February 13th as ESPN brings you live coverage from Durham starting at midnight GMT (7 PM Eastern Time). Don't miss out on witnessing whether Duke can defend its court or if Wake Forest will manage an upset in this storied rivalry.
