Duke’s first task will be scoring against the No. 6-ranked scoring defense in the nation. The Hurricanes are holding opponents to just 60.7 points per game and 37.3 percent from the field. Offensively, the Hurricanes need to find some consistency with the team failing to top 70 in three of their past four outings.
