Quinn Cook was named ACC Co-Player of the Week on Monday
Chad Lykins – With an impressive showing at the 2012 Battle 4 Atlantis tournament, culminating in their sixth straight regular season championship, the Duke Blue Devils return to the friendly confines of Cameron Indoor Stadium for an ACC/B10 Challenge showdown.
After a rout in last year’s ACC/B10 Challenge at the hands of Ohio State in Columbus, the Blue Devils seek to avenge their 22-point drubbing a year later as they will host the Buckeyes on Wednesday night. Duke (6-0) will enter ranked No. 2 in both the AP and ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll, while Ohio State (4-0) is ranked No. 4 in both polls. Wednesday’s premier matchup will be televised live on ESPN/ESPN3/WatchESPN with the tip set for approximately 9:35 PM ET. The game will also be broadcasted on the Blue Devil IMG Sports Network (Sirius/XM – 91).

Duke went undefeated over a three-game stretch in the Bahamas behind tournament MVP Quinn Cook and the consistent play of their senior leader Mason Plumlee. They faced a variety of defenses as well; Minnesota’s man pressure, VCU’s “Havoc” full court press and Louisville’s passive full court press combined with extended on-ball D.
