- Mark Mitchell registered his first career double-double with 23 points and 14 boards - both career bests - during a 67-59 win at Notre Dame. He made 8-of-12 shots (66.7%) against the Fighting Irish, including both 3-point attempts and all five free throws.Â
- In a home win over Syracuse on Jan. 2, Mitchell posted 21 points, six boards, three assists and two blocked shots, while shooting 7-of-10 from the field.
- Jared McCain has reached the 20-point mark in three of the last six games, averaging 18.0 points per contest during Duke's current six-game win streak.

- Last season's ACC Coach of the Year Jeff Capel is in his sixth year at Pitt. Capel is a former Duke player and assistant coach, spending seven seasons on Mike Krzyzewski's staff (2011-18).
- A four-year starter for the Blue Devils from 1993-97, Capel was a two-time team captain. He was part of 83 wins and helped the program to 1994 NCAA title game.
Last Time Out
- Jon Scheyer coached his 50th game at the helm of the program. He is now 38-12 as head coach – the most wins by a Duke head coach through their first 50 games.Â

- The Kansas City, Kan., native scored 19 second-half points, including Duke's first 14 points out of the break, while shooting 8-of-9 from the field after intermission.

- Jeremy Roach recorded 18 points on 4-of-9 shooting from the field and 9-of-9 from the foul line – his fifth game in double-figures across the last six contests. Roach added six rebounds, a season-best four steals and a pair of assists.

- The Westtown, N.Y., native scored 21 points against Southern Indiana while reeling in 14 boards for his first double-double of the season. He then poured in 23 second-half points en route to 26 total points to go along with 10 rebounds at Arkansas. Against Hofstra, he scored a season-best 28 points (one point shy of matching his career-high) with 12 boards. Versus No. 10 Baylor, the center collected 13 points and 10 caroms.
- So far this season, Filipowski has upped his shooting average compared to his freshman campaign. The 7-footer is averaging 16.8 points per game while shooting 50.3% from the field, up from 44.1% during the 2022-23 season.
