Duke vs Notre Dame Live Radio Broadcast: Rematch in Durham Another Offensive Showdown?
ByThis time in Durham, the Duke Blue Devils (4) and Notre Dame Fighting Irish (10) are in for an entertaining ACC rivalry rematch.
About a week-and-a-half ago, coming off Mike Krzyzewski's 1,000th coaching victory, Duke fell to Notre Dame in South Bend 77-73. This time around, Duke will need to figure out a way to slow down Jerian Grant, who scored 23 points in 40 minutes in that game.

"He loves the moment," Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said in a pregame press conference of Grant, according to ESPN. "He's such a bright lights, big-stage guy. He is really clutch."
Saturday afternoon's clash features two of the best offenses in the nation and Duke showed off what they can do by handing Virginia its first loss just after the loss to Notre Dame. But Krzyzewski and his team did not dwell on that too long, as they came home for a quick two-game stand that ends Saturday.
To beat Notre Dame this time around, Duke will need more of the same from standout freshman center Jahlil Okafor. He played well last time against Notre Dame, but could not hit crucial free throws toward the end of the game.
"Jah had a heck of a game," Krzyzewski said in a pregame presser. "If he hit those free throws, then we'd be talking about Jah having the amazing game, not Grant. But Jah had a great game."
