However, they may soon be facing their first real batch of adversity, as they could be without senior PF Ryan Kelly when they travel to play NC State on Saturday.
Kelly was injured on Tuesday, hurting the same ankle that kept him out of the NCAA Tournament last season, where Duke was beat by Lehigh in the first round in one of the more stunning upsets in recent memory:

Kelly’s ability to stretch the floor as a big man opens up the floor for his teammates and he’s been of Duke’s steadiest players this year. He’s averaging 13 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks on 47/50/79 shooting.
Kelly is averaging 13.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game for the Blue Devils this season.
