When: 7 p.m. today

Where: Cameron Indoor Stadium, Durham

TV/Radio: ESPN/WDNC-620, WKIX-102.9

Player to watch: Andre Dawkins, G, 6-4, Duke

The junior guard led the Blue Devils to Sunday's win over Clemson, finishing with 24 points. Dawkins has had two good games in a row, earning praise from Mike Krzyzewski for his defense in last week's win over Virginia before his impressive offensive output against the Tigers. In the process, Dawkins has carved out a more prominent role in the rotation.

Observation: Duke's last four games have all come down to the final minute, with the largest margin of victory being seven points. That could change against the Demon Deacons. Wake Forest had been showing signs of life earlier in the season, but the Demon Deacons lost by 36 points to N.C. State on Saturday and might not have the confidence to keep tonight's game close at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
