18. Duke Blue Devils

Previous Ranking: 18

Record: 15-5 (3-4 ACC)

Duke stands still at 18 despite losing to North Carolina State on Monday night. Why because of their high ceiling and the way they played in the 2nd half against Miami.

Freshman Jayson Tatum led the team with 14 points in the win over the Hurricanes. Senior Matt Jones had 13 off the bench and leading scorer Luke Kennard chipped in with 13. The team also got Amile Jefferson back from injury and got five points and 12 rebounds out of their double-double machine. Give credit to the Wolfpack for going into Cameron Indoor and stealing a game.
