LEXINGTON, Ky.—Playing their third game in seven days, the No. 13 Blue Devils trail No. 8 Kentucky 38-30 at halftime at Rupp Arena.

LEXINGTON, Ky.—When both teams bleed blue, there is going to be a lot at stake. For Duke, Sunday’s game was its third chance to earn a statement win against a ranked opponent this season—and for the third time, the Blue Devils came up short.
After routing Georgia Southern 99-65 at home Tuesday, the seventh-ranked Blue Devils travel to Madison Square Garden in New York Saturday to meet Utah. Duke defeated the Utes 63-57 in the Sweet 16 of last year’s NCAA tournament en route to the program’s fifth national championship.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—Duke began Saturday's contest against Virginia eager to rebound from last weekend's 31-13 loss to Pittsburgh and snap its three-game losing streak. But after a slow start, the Blue Devils have plenty of work to do if they hope to right the ship in Charlottesville.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—Early in the season, the Blue Devils’ defense was put on a pedestal, considered by many to be the greatest strength of a team that had graduated two of last year’s top offensive weapons.

The fifth-ranked Blue Devils defeated Siena 92-74 Friday to win their 34th consecutive home opener in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Grayson Allen came one point shy of matching his career high of 27 points, and Amile Jefferson notched a double-double just one week after leaving Duke’s exhibition contest against Livingstone early with a sprained ankle.
