The No. 6 Blue Devils (2-1, 0-0 ACC), anchored by 17-year-old freshman sensation and projected one-and-done No. 1 overall draft pick Cooper Flagg, aim to improve the program’s all-time record against the Terriers to 7-0. Duke boasts an 8-0 record in games played on Nov. 16.

Interestingly, third-year Wofford head coach Dwight Perry, the same age as 37-year-old Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer, hails from Durham, N.C. And he played three seasons at Kentucky, albeit as a seldom-used reserve guard.
