Off to an 0-3 start to the season, things do not get any easier for the Lafayette Leopards as they travel to Cameron Indoor Stadium to battle the #7 Duke Blue Devils. The Leopards went 9-5 last season and are hoping to make some noise in the Patriot Conference this season.

Tyrone Perry is the leading scorer for the Leopards and is averaging 14.7 points per game while shooting 44% from the field. Kyle Jenkins is an additional scoring threat for the Leopards and is putting up 13.7 points per contest. Seven footer Neal Quinn is a banger down low for the Leopards and is averaging 11 points and 8.3 rebounds per game.

Off to a 4-0 start to the season and ranked #7 in the country, the Duke Blue Devils play host to the Lafayette Leopards. The Blue Devils went 13-11 last season and are hoping to send Coach K off to retirement with a deep postseason run.

Super Freshman Paolo Banchero is the player to watch for the Blue Devils and is averaging 17 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. Due to a recent DWI arrest, Banchero's status for the Lafayette game is up in the air. Regardless of Banchero's status Wendall Moore Jr. will be counted on to play a big role for the Blue Devils. Moore is averaging 15 points and 6 rebounds per game.

The one hope that Lafayette has here is if Duke gets over confidence or overlooks the Leopards. That is the only way that the Duke team would lose here. The Lafayette offense has struggled on the year and the defense has done well enough to secure a lot of wins on the season. Look for Duke to run over the Lafayette team in this game and easily pick up the win. Final Score Prediction, Duke Blue Devils win 88-34.
