The Duke Blue Devils look to hang on to their top ranking in college basketball as they welcome the Syracuse Orange to Durham on Monday night.

As they wear on in ACC play, the Duke Blue Devils remain the No. 1 ranked team in college basketball, this after surviving a scare at Florida State this past weekend. In the toughest conference in the country, the Blue Devils will now be tested once again as they welcome a tough Syracuse Orange team to Cameron Indoor Stadium on Monday night.

Duke was saved from just their second loss of the season on Saturday by a three-pointer by Cam Reddish. Reddish came into the year with all the hype in the world, but has struggled this season with RJ Barrett and Zion Williamson taking the roles of the stars for this Blue Devils team. However, if he can start clicking, this team is dangerous.

Meanwhile, Syracuse has been a bit all over the place this season, with Tyus Battle leading the way. Jim Boeheim’s team has played well against top competition at times, but has had a series of big time letdowns as well.

Having said that, the Syracuse signature zone defense could be something to watch in this game. This Duke team is many things, but they are not a three-point shooting team. Thus, if the Orange can keep the Blue Devils shooting on the outside, they may have a shot.

Duke has been phenomenal this season, but are coming off a major test on Saturday and obviously have a quick turnaround. What’s more, the Syracuse defense could put the Blue Devils in a tough position with their shooting woes this season. We’ll see if the Orange can truly pull off a huge upset early on in ACC play.
