The ACC being down as a whole shouldn't distract from the fact that Duke is one of the best teams in the nation

A seventh consecutive win, and 23rd in the past 24 games, left Duke perfect in 17 games at home. Saturday’s game at rival North Carolina is the Blue Devils’ lone remaining regular-season game.

The 2nd-ranked Duke Blue Devils are set to play their home regular-season finale Monday night with a matchup against Wake Forest.

Duke played without Tyrese Proctor and Maliq Brown when it hammered Florida State on Saturday night. The inury list is shrinking as the regular season is coming to a close.

It was the home finale for the Blue Devils (27-3, 18-1 ACC) — and likely Flagg, the projected No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. The 6-foot-9 freshman put on one more show for more than 9,300 fans, scoring 28 points to go with eight rebounds, seven assists, three blocks, and two steals on Coach K Court.

Duke laid waste to another ACC foe on Monday, looking like a major threat to win a national title with the NCAA Tournament only weeks away.
