Isaiah Evans, Tyrese Proctor, and the rest of Jon Scheyer’s third Duke basketball squad now have a few days off before traveling to Atlanta for their second ACC road test. Tipoff between the Blue Devils (9-2, 1-0 ACC) and unranked Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (4-6, 0-1 ACC) is set for noon ET Saturday (ACC Network).
Following that trip, Duke will have its longest break of the season before welcoming the Virginia Tech Hokies to Cameron Indoor Stadium on New Year’s Eve.
