No. 4 Duke forces 21 turnovers, beats Wake Forest 84-70
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- No. 4 Duke hounded Wake Forest's guards, forced turnovers and turned them into easy baskets. With the occasionally maligned defense playing like this, there was no chance of a letdown or a look-ahead.
The Blue Devils forced 21 turnovers in Tuesday night's 84-70 victory over the Demon Deacons.
By their own high standards, this counts as an off night for an offense that is the nation's second-most efficient in the Pomeroy rankings. And they were outrebounded 37-31 by a Wake Forest team with two 7-footers in the rotation.
It didn't really matter with the defense playing like this.
