Duke players like how they have bonded through all sorts of situations this season. The No. 2 Blue Devils will be put to the test again Saturday night at Clemson.

With guard Chase Hunter, forward Ian Schieffelin and a few veteran plug-and-play transfers leading the way, the Tigers have picked up quality wins and avoided bad losses. The Georgia Tech loss is their only Quad 3 or Quad 4 loss to date, as defined by the NCAA’s NET metric that plays a major role in tournament seeding.
