On National Signing Day, #Duke leads the way in the 2024 composite team rankings. Just how good is their class and who else is doing damage? @247Sports takes look at the top current top 15 https://t.co/wQkwEGotTP https://t.co/bx1Rnz577m
Duke beats Dartmouth 92-54. Kyle Filipowski leads the way with 25 points. Caleb Foster had 15 in his debut, routine 14 for Jeremy Roach.
Duke has turned its opener into the rout that was expected. The lead has been as much as 31. Kyle Filipowski's season starts with a smooth 25-point game on 10 of 12 shooting. Lots of lineup variance for Jon Scheyer -- right now it's 4 freshmen and Jaylen Blakes.
Duke 42, Dartmouth 21 at halftime Filipowski leading the way with 10 points. Blue Devils looking strong and deep, even without Mark Mitchell #AsExpected

Duke's leading scorers are Kyle Filipowski (10) and Jaylen Blakes (8). Just like we all figured. Duke leads 42-21 in the last minute of 1st half.
A much-needed and tough-ass win for Duke. An awful loss for Wake mostly because of how it happened.
DUKE HITS A FIELD GOAL AT THE LAST SECOND TO BEAT WAKE BOWL ELIGIBLE DUKE
Duke hits a 26-yard field goal as time expires for a 24-21 win over Wake Forest. The Blue Devils are now 6-3 and are bowl eligible. Wake Forest is 4-5 with games against NC State, No. 15 Notre Dame and Syracuse remaining.
Duke takes a knee on third down to set up the potential game-winning field goal. Wake Forest, with two missed field goals, the flubbed pass to give Duke the ball and the two penalties on this drive, has absolutely gift-wrapped this one. But there's still a kick to make: 27 yards.
Alright 3rd and long for Duke. Get off the field.
Duke Defense coming up big tonight when it matters
Wake had the ball, trying to bleed out the final five minutes and score last, but Mitch Griffis flat-out loses the ball on a throw and the knuckler lands in Ryan Smith's arms. Now Duke is trying to bleed out the final four minutes and score last.
Duke-Wake. Good stuff. Tied in the fourth quarter.
Another 3 and out for Duke. Defense back to their first quarter ways, much needed.
Duke has to be thrilled with where they are after those two turnovers on our end of the field. Wake’s run defense just disintegrated in the 2nd quarter. Ellison slipping, Mitch not finding a lane on 3rd, and the ensuing FG attempt was a rough series. Need a three and out early
