With rare exception visiting squads, even the best ones, haven’t been able to come to Cameron Indoor Stadium harboring realistic expectations of beating the home team. Certainly the weight of recent history, what might be called the odds, are against them.
Experience shows Duke wins at Cameron regardless of opponent with Mike Krzyzewski on the bench. Regardless of preceding stumbles on the road. Regardless of hangovers from previous results, no matter how glorious or discouraging.
Only Carolina has even a one-in-three chance of victory as a grudgingly welcomed guest.
Duke routinely wins around 85 percent of its games at Cameron, including this season’s 13-2 mark after losing to Virginia.
