The Tar Heels come in into Monday’s matchup with the Orange with a home court advantage, having only lost two games at home this season.

The Blue Devils scored the first 14 points of the night, and led by over 20 points just over eight minutes into the game.

It was pure Duke domination over Syracuse Saturday night in the Dome.

Syracuse lost its second consecutive game to a highly-ranked opponent, this time dropping a 20-11 decision to No. 2 Virginia.

Saturday evening, longtime friends Mike Krzyzewski and Jim Boeheim will be friendly adversaries from opposite benches for the last time.

It is impossible to think the Orange were playing on anything other than legs that were almost completely shot by the end of the game.

Syracuse simply ran out of gas late at Notre Dame on Wednesday night, dropping a 79-69 contest despite being within 3 with a minute to go.

Paul Atkinson Jr. dominated Syracuse inside, scoring 20 points and adding 17 rebounds, 8 on the offensive glass.

Like Syracuse, Notre Dame is 4-1 over its last five games after dropping a 79-74 decision to Wake Forest on the road.

In the final 18 minutes, Syracuse center Frank Anselem grabbed eight boards and blocked a couple shots after a miserable first half.
