Notre Dame entered this season with high hopes but injuries have derailed any hope the team had of a conference crown. Stars Bonzie Colson is on the shelf with a broken foot and Matt Farrell on the bench with an ankle injury. The reeling Fighting Irish will try to get back in the win column when they visit the Duke Blue Devils on Monday.
- Duke is 2-6 ATS in its last 8 games at home against teams with winning records.
- Duke is 15-1 SU in its last 16 games at home.
- Notre Dame is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games as a road underdog.
Notre Dame has seen its offense evaporate without its top players, as the Fighting Irish have averaged 66.4 points while shooting an awful 37.3 percent during their current five-game losing streak. The lone offensive bright spot has been sophomore T.J. Gibbs, as the guard has scored at least 18 points in three of Notre Dame’s last four outings.
Duke saw its streak of scoring at least 80 points end at 16 in a loss to Virginia on Saturday. However, it took the best scoring defense in the country to do so. That being said, freshman Marvin Bagley still had a huge game for the Blue Devils with the forward notching 30 points and 14 rebounds while hitting 13 of his 18 shots.
