The Blue Devils will play in front of a sold-out crowd on the road on Saturday.

Wake Forest announced on Thursday that the Demon Deacons’ weekend matchup against Duke was officially sold out. The game is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET.

The game will mark the second time the Blue Devils played Wake Forest within 12 days. On February 12, Duke defeated the Demon Deacons 77-69 in front of a home crowd at Cameron Indoor.

Sophomore Mark Mitchell led the Blue Devils with 23 points in that game, and forward Kyle Filipowski added 21 points of his own. Freshman Jared McCain added a 17-point double-double as part of his ACC Rookie of the Week campaign.

The Demon Deacons are Joe Lunardi’s First Team Out, according to recent bracket projections, but Wake Forest ranks 21st in KenPom’s adjusted efficiency metric as it looks to build a tournament case.
