Wake Forest knocks off No. 14 Duke, 81-70, in ACC college basketball (Raleigh News & Observer)

Blue Devils faced the Demon Deacons at Winston-Salem in ACC basketball. Who won the game? What was the score?

Wake hit Duke with an early 9-0 run to build an 11-4 lead. But the Blue Devils didn’t shoot well enough to draw any closer. We need to be solid and guard the ball.” For Duke, 7-0 freshman Kyle Filipowski entered the game averaging 14 points per game while Jeremy Roach averaged 13. They do a good job of moving and spacing and they just got in our paint at will. The Demon Deacons shot 49.1% against a Duke team that had only allowed its first 12 opponents to shoot 39.1%. But that wasn’t nearly enough as Tyree Appleby scored 18 points for Wake (9-4, 1-1 ACC) while Cam Hildreth added 16. While Duke was in the midst of missing six consecutive shots, Hildreth hit a running one-hand shot in the lane with 4:50 to play giving Wake Forest a 68-57 lead. And it was embarrassing that we couldn’t win that tonight. “It’s toughness and it’s effort. We can’t be that fragile. And they out-toughed us and they came out right from the jump and wanted to more than us.”

College Basketball Odds: Duke vs. Wake Forest prediction, odds (ClutchPoints)

Duke faces Wake Forest. Our college basketball odds series has our Duke Wake Forest prediction, odds and pick for Tuesday.

This is a game you should stay away from, but the two Duke injuries are hard to ignore here. Wake might play well for 20 minutes, but the other 20 minutes are a disaster, and that kind of tendency catches up with teams. This is a Duke team which has shown it can adjust and adapt. Wake Forest needs to find more toughness and consistency at both ends of the floor, or else this team will be an NIT team. On the other hand, Wake Forest guard Tyree Appleby — the transfer from Florida who is absolutely essential to the Demon Deacons’ chances of doing anything of note this season — got injured in a recent game against Appalachian State. The Demon Deacons blew a large lead against LSU and nearly lost to App State but won on a buzzer-beater.

Wake Forest Leaves Duke Blue, 81-70 (Duke Basketball Report)

Duke certainly had opportunities but couldn't capitalize. A few minutes after that steal, Jaylen Blakes, who had a really good game overall, stole the ball then ...

The Blue Devils were disjointed and made a lot of errors that they don’t typically make. Part of this may be the natural result of not practicing a lot over the break, but in fairness, that’s probably true for Wake Forest as well. And so is his fellow Brit Cameron Hildreth, who showed some real toughness in this game. Missing Lively and Whitehead were not why Duke lost. Playing without Dereck Lively and Dariq Whitehead, who were both ill and remained home, Duke had trouble with Wake’s Matthew Marsh as the Deacs consistently passed over Blue Devils defenders for lobs. Duke certainly had opportunities but couldn’t capitalize.

5 observations from Duke men's basketball's first half against Wake ... (Duke Chronicle)

On the road for its first ACC road game of the season, No. 14 Duke started slow against Wake Forest before the break. With 20 minutes to play at Lawrence ...

In their first game in 10 days, the Blue Devils have looked far from their best against the Demon Deacons. A strong closing sequence has Duke in position to make a second-half run; if they get more on the offensive end from Roach and Filipowski and improve on their 3-of-15 mark from 3-point range, the Blue Devils’ winning streak could still reach five games. The preseason All-ACC First Team selection looked healthy in his first game in two weeks, but it was nonetheless a struggle for him in his first half back on the court: Roach was held scoreless on four shots, while leading scorer Kyle Filipowski checks in with five points on 2-of-7 shooting at the halfway point. Scheyer went to freshman sharpshooter Jaden Schutt in the first half against Maryland Eastern Shore in Roach’s absence, but only seven Blue Devils have entered the action so far in Tuesday’s game. The Demon Deacons dominated the boards in the opening minutes, taking advantage of second chances and jumping out to an 11-4 lead. With the 7-foot-1 Lively out of the starting lineup, graduate student Ryan Young stepped in at center, bringing back Duke’s early-season starting five for the first time since Nov.

Duke basketball center calls rebounding effort 'embarrassing' (CalBearsMaven)

Duke basketball graduate center Ryan Young did not seem pleased with the squad's lack of aggression on the boards during Tuesday's loss at Wake Forest.

You have to win on the road." In the ACC, you have to win these games. As for the other occurrence, it came in a 75-59 home win over the Boston College Eagles on Dec. "We take pride in that being a strength of ours. "It's toughness, and it's effort. But perhaps the overriding factor in Duke basketball's 81-70 road loss to the unranked Wake Forest Demon Deacons (9-4, 1-1 ACC) on Tuesday night was the missing extra effort in corralling rebounds and loose balls.

To be its best, Duke basketball needs steady play from Jeremy ... (Raleigh News & Observer)

That didn't happen for the Blue Devils and they returned home from Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum having absorbed an 81-70 loss to the Demon Deacons.

Filipowski entered the game averaging a team-best 14.2 points per game and having reached double figures in all 12 Duke games this season. But that’s only part of the solution for Duke. The idea being, he knows what he’s doing so give him a game off to get that toe healthy. So the game at Wake Forest was Roach’s first in two weeks. But Roach didn’t distinguish himself against the Demon Deacons. 10, Duke’s last game prior to Tuesday night, when the Blue Devils beat Maryland-Eastern Shore, 82-55. 4 at Clemson and Jan. Of late, he’d been showing that, twice topping the 20-point plateau to push his season scoring average to 13.1 points per game. Because of that, Scheyer gave him a day off on Dec. His veteran status was a big reason why he didn’t play on Dec. Freshmen Dariq Whitehead and Dereck Lively being unavailable left Duke a lesser team. Yet each player scored just nine points apiece against Wake Forest.

The Duke basketball team put forth an alarming and embarrassing performance against Wake Forest on Tuesday night in Winston-Salem.

[Kyle Filipowski](https://goduke.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/kyle-filipowski/18358) also struggled in the first true road game of his career with nine points on 4-of-14 shooting and missing all six of his 3-point attempts. [Tyrese Proctor](https://goduke.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/tyrese-proctor/18366), would hit three 3-pointers in the span of four offensive possessions to bring the Blue Devils within seven, 62-55, with 8:04 to play but the inability to get a stop defensively — and a rebound — cost Duke its chance to make a miraculous comeback. [Jeremy Roach](https://goduke.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/jeremy-roach/18163), returning from missing Duke’s last game due to a [toe injury](https://balldurham.com/2022/12/14/duke-basketball-scheyer-decision-roach/), did not have any explosiveness in his game as he only mustered nine points on the night with four fouls and five turnovers. [Dariq Whitehead](https://goduke.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/dariq-whitehead/18356) and [Dereck Lively II](https://goduke.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=18359) due to non-COVID illnesses but that should not be an excuse for the performance that the rest of the team put on the floor. The No. 14 Blue Devils (10-3, 1-1 ACC) put together its worst performance of the season on Tuesday night against Wake Forest (9-4, 1-1 ACC), losing 81-70.

But his quickness, especially given his size, has been key on the fast break: even if he doesn’t always finish the play, his presence clears space for guards like Jeremy Roach to attack the rim. Lively has hardly been a world-beater on the glass, averaging just 3.7 boards per game, but his ability to keep balls alive doesn’t show up in the box score. It’s perhaps not a coincidence, then, that Kyle Filipowski had one of his worst rebounding performances against Wake Forest with a mere six: the Demon Deacons were able to key on him in their box outs, rather than having to split their attention between him and Lively.

This coaching staff either cannot come to an agreement on a rotation or simply do not like what they see. All players are going to have off nights but the bigger issue with Roach is that at no point did he look to be aggressive or try to rally his teammates. This was obvious within the first four minutes as Wake Forest was able to secure multiple offensive rebounds that led to second chance opportunities. Duke got outplayed from the opening tip and for the first time this season lost to a Wake Forest (9-4, 1-1 ACC) team with much less talent, 81-70. [Dereck Lively](https://goduke.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/dereck-lively-ii/18359) and [Dariq Whitehead](https://goduke.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/dariq-whitehead/18356) and, to be expected, is not the same team with the freshmen duo sidelined.

LOST IN THE FOREST: Shorthanded Duke men's basketball falls on ... (Duke Chronicle)

Shorthanded, the Blue Devils left Winston-Salem, N.C., empty-handed, suffering their first ACC loss of the 2022-23 season.

That was a common theme throughout the first half, as every time Duke seemed to establish a bit of mojo, Wake Forest responded. He even drilled a trey from the left corner to cut Wake Forest’s lead to 26-21, after Young was doubled in the post and kicked it out. The Demon Deacons ended the half leading by nine, marking just the third time Duke had trailed at half all season—the other two instances being in losses to Purdue and Kansas, now ranked No. Scheyer anticipated that Lively and Whitehead will suit up for that one, saying postgame "we feel they'll be back to practice when we return from Christmas." Without Lively anchoring the paint, the 7-foot-1 Marsh went to work, converting all three of his first half field goal attempts and making life difficult for Young and Filipowski. But Wake Forest was simply the more efficient offense in the first half, going 4-of-9 from downtown and sporting eight players with at least one made field goal. For a flash, the Blue Devils threatened to charge back into it, with three straight wing triples, one from Tyrese Proctor and two from Blakes, cutting the Wake Forest edge to 62-55. "In the second half, we took a punch to the canvas there in about nine minutes, but we came right back," Wake Forest head coach Steve Forbes said. From there, Duke (10-3, 1-1 in the ACC) was playing from substantially behind the rest of the night. "We knew that Appleby coming in was going to be able, he's a really good distributor... [82-55 win against Maryland Eastern Shore](https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2022/12/duke-mens-basketball-maryland-eastern-shore), it came via the second unit. 14 Duke clearly missed freshmen Dereck Lively II and Dariq Whitehead en route to a 81-70 loss to Wake Forest in Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum Tuesday.
