Game Thread: Duke Blue Devils at Boston College Eagles

GAME DAY FACTS

WHO

Duke Blue Devils (11-0, 0-0 ACC)

VS

Boston College Eagles (6-3, 0-0 ACC)

WHAT

The top ranked Blue Devils come to town this afternoon to open up ACC play. Duke is off to an 11-0 start to their season, with a 57-point victory over St. Francis earlier this week. The loss of Teddy Hawkins was made official this week, which should make it all the more difficult to contain to contain freshman phenom Marvin Bagley III. Bagley has averaged just under 22 points with 11 rebounds so far this season. The coaching staff has had a full week to prepare for the Blue Devils and for replacing Hawkins’ minutes… but both will be tall orders.
