Duke vs Kentucky preview, prediction

Overall, the Wildcats have a 12-11 edge in the all-time series, but Duke has won nine of the last 11 meetings. Tuesday’s showdown will be the first that doesn’t feature Mike Krzyzewski or John Calipari on one of the sidelines since March 13, 1980 — five days later, Coach K was introduced as Duke’s head coach.

Third-year coach Jon Scheyer will be coaching against UK for the first time, and Mark Pope is in his debut season as head coach of the Wildcats. Scheyer and Pope won national championships as players, contributing to the storied history of their programs.

Freshmen standouts Kon Knueppel (18.5 points per game, 3 rebounds per game, 2 assists per game) and Cooper Flagg (15.5 ppg, 9.0 reb, 4.0 ast, 2.5 stls, 1.5 blks) are two of five Blue Devils averaging double-digit points. Fellow freshman Khaman Maluach leads Duke with an average of 10 rebounds through two games.
