No. 23 Northwestern (2-0) at Duke (2-0), 12:30 p.m (ACC Network)
Line: Duke by 3 1/2
Series Record: Tied 8-8
WHAT'S AT STAKE
Northwestern wants to hold on to its first national ranking since October 2013 and perhaps deny the Blue Devils a spot in next week's Top 25. Both teams want to prove their hot starts aren't flukes. The Wildcats, 18-2 in September games since 2010, haven't started 3-0 since '13.
KEY MATCHUP
Northwestern's defense against Duke's offense.
