Thoughts: 11 Dukes average double digit minutes so depth will not be an issue for them. They started off the year losing their first 6 games and going just 2-8 over their first 10 games. The Dukes are 10-8 since.
We’re going for our 7th road win of the year which would tie the 7 road wins during the 16-17, 11-12, and 03-04 seasons. FYI, we had 13 road wins during the 05-06 season, 10 road wins during the 10-11 season, 9 road wins during the 06-07 season, and 8 road wins during the 12-13 season.
