Tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET on ESPNU the No. 6 Duke Blue Devils (4-1) will face the Yale Bulldogs (3-1) at Cameron Indoor Stadium in a matchup that Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski hopes will restore Duke’s ability to dominate.

Duke has already been blasted by Kentucky this season and narrowly escaped an upset earlier this week at Madison Square Garden against Georgetown. Duke’s roster is long on talent but short on experience, and Coach K expects more bumpy times ahead.
Top High School Recruit Commits To Duke
"We think we know how to win, or we're trying to figure out how to win," Krzyzewski told ESPN. "Three hellacious games in six days is a heck of a thing for our team. We've got to fight for everything, and we've got a lot of growth (ahead)."
Much of that development needs to come from highly-touted freshman Brandon Ingram, who has averaged 10.6 points and 3.2 rebounds while shooting a weak 26 percent from beyond the arc. Luckily for Duke, Grayson Allen continues to take the reins. Allen, only a sophomore, has become Duke’s go-to player on offense, ripping off 30 and 32 points in back-to-back games vs. VCU and Georgetown.
With Allen offering top-notch perimeter scoring, and Amile Jefferson and Marshall Plumlee providing the thunder in the post, Duke will be a force regardless of how quickly Ingram develops. If he comes along soon, however, Duke could be the top-ranked team in the country in short order.
