Blue Devils and Demon Deacons meet up in Durham

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

01/18/2007 - Durham, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The "Cameron Crazies" will be in full force tonight as the 14th-ranked Duke Blue Devils play host to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in ACC action.

Wake Forest is a respectable 9-7 overall this season, but the team is just 2-4 on the road and 1-3 in ACC games. The last two outings for the Demon Deacons have resulted in defeat, including an 88-74 setback at home to NC State on Saturday.

Duke's 14-3 overall record is certainly impressive, but the team has lost two of its first three ACC tilts. The lone conference win came in the team's most recent outing, as the Blue Devils avoided an 0-3 start by rolling to an 85-63 decision over Miami-Florida on Sunday. Duke is 11-1 at Cameron and always among the nation's most difficult teams to beat on its home floor.

Duke owns a 154-75 lead in the all-time series with Wake Forest, including nine straight home wins over the Demon Deacons.

Wake Forest only has one double-digit scorer in the lineup, as Kyle Visser is netting 18.3 ppg despite his 63.3 percent shooting from the floor. Visser is also pulling down 7.8 rpg, as he has proven to be one of the better frontcourt players in the ACC. No other player is netting more than 8.9 ppg for the Demon Deacons, but they are averaging a solid 76.4 ppg through 16 outings. In the 14-point home loss to NC State last time out, Kevin Swinton paced Wake with 16 points off the bench, while L.D. Williams and Visser scored 11 points apiece. The Deacs actually connected on a stellar 53.8 percent of their field goal attempts in that tilt, but their 22 turnovers offset to positive shooting effort.Also, it didn't help matters that they permitted NC State to shoot 60.7 percent from the floor.

The Blue Devils shot a season-high 68 percent from the floor to knock off Miami on Sunday. Freshman John Scheyer registered a career-high 25 points on the strength of his perfect (11-of-11) effort from the foul line, and Greg Paulus pitched in 15 points. DeMarcus Nelson finished with 14 points for the Blue Devils, and Josh McRoberts rounded out the double-digit scorers with 11 points before fouling out of the contest. Duke earned a 32-16 rebounding advantage and a 22-12 edge in points from the foul line. Nelson brings a great deal of leadership to the floor in addition to his 14.8 ppg. McRoberts adds 12.6 ppg and 7.7 rpg, and Scheyer is scoring 11.8 ppg. The Blue Devils are netting a modest 69.4 ppg this season, but they are limiting opponents to 56.1 ppg on 39.3 percent shooting from the field.
