SBG Global Opening Line: Duke - 15 , Total 163
Duke will look to get back to establishing dominance in the ACC on Wednesday as they host Georgia Tech. The Blue Devils lost at Wake Forest and Miami last week but bounced back with a non-conference win over St. John’s on Saturday. The Blue Devils are trying to keep pace with North Carolina in the ACC. Duke is a half game back of the Tar Heels in the standings. "We weren't ready to jump off a bridge with two losses," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "We've had to fight for everything this year - it's not like we've been blowing teams out in the league. We just have to stay on our course and sometimes that course means you're going to get beat. What you do after you get beat and how do you get better are questions that we have to answer."
SBG Global reports that early NCAA Basketball betting has the public taking Duke at Home.
Freshman Kyle Singler led the Blue Devils with 16 points on Saturday while Sophomore Jon Scheyer had 12 points in his first start of the season. "The two losses knocked us back. We're not an established team yet," Krzyzewski said. "The roots of confidence both individually and as a team are not deep enough yet, and they shouldn't be with so many developing players. So when you get knocked back, you have to re-establish those roots and it will take more than one game." Duke should have no trouble against Georgia Tech who they have beaten six of the last seven times and nine of the last ten in Durham.
