Wake Forest scored their first basket at the 12:43 mark of the first half.  Duke played dominant defense throughout the game holding Wake Forest to 22.8% for the game which was a season low for Duke.  Granted Wake is down three point guards from the start of the season due to injuries.  Still Duke smothered the Deacs with 17 steals while forcing 24 turnovers.
