ACC basketball capsules: Duke vs. Wake

Published Feb. 28, 2012 7:14 a.m. ET

Tuesday, Feb. 28

Duke (25-4, 12-2) at Wake Forest (13-15, 4-10)

When:  9 p.m.

Where: Winston-Salem, N.C., Joel Coliseum (14,665)

Fast break: Duke has played better on the road in ACC play than at home, and the Demon Deacons have been blown out more than any other team in conference games, so the combination doesn’t lend much belief this will be a competitive game. But, if the Blue Devils are looking ahead to Saturday’s rematch with North Carolina and Wake’s C.J. Harris and Travis McKie have big games – McKie can create matchup problems – there’s a chance this could be interesting. But it’s not a very good chance.

Forecast: Duke, 80-64.

Andrew Jones’ record: 193-48
