Duke Blue Devils Set to Challenge Syracuse Orange at JMA Wireless Dome

As the Duke Blue Devils prepare to face off against the Syracuse Orange at the JMA Wireless Dome, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a riveting encounter. The Blue Devils, coming off a string of impressive performances, look poised to continue their winning streak.

In their last game on February 11 against the North Carolina Tar Heels, DUKE showcased their resilience by overcoming an early deficit and securing a 68-60 victory in overtime. Their ability to maintain composure under pressure was evident as they outscored UNC 15-7 in overtime. This tenacity will be crucial when they take on SYR.

DUKE's statistics speak volumes about their balanced approach. With an assist turnover ratio of 1.44 against UNC and shooting percentages that have been consistently strong—45 percent from two-point range and 32 percent from beyond the arc—the team has demonstrated both efficiency and teamwork. Moreover, their defensive prowess was on full display with nine blocks and five steals contributing significantly to their win.

The Blue Devils' performance against Wake Forest's Demon Deacons further solidified their status as contenders. Dominating with a final score of 69-46, DUKE exhibited offensive firepower by shooting an impressive 54 percent from the field and converting free throws at a remarkable rate of 92 percent.

However, it would be remiss not to acknowledge the challenge posed by SYR. The Orange have shown they can compete at high levels and will undoubtedly leverage home-court advantage within the confines of JMA Wireless Dome.
