No. 21 Duke and No. 10 Baylor will each look to right the ship when they take the floor for a marquee non-conference clash on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.
The Bears began the year 9-0, capturing wins over high-major opponents like Auburn and Florida. However, they stumbled on Saturday, suffering an 88-64 drubbing at the hands of Michigan State. The Spartans outscored Baylor 45-17 in the first half, burying the Bears from the jump.
Duke will be the first ranked opponent that Baylor faces this season, but the Blue Devils are struggling, too. After beginning the year as the No. 2 team in the AP poll, Duke dropped three of its first eight games, including an upset loss to Georgia Tech to begin ACC play.
The Blue Devils are reliant on preseason All-American Kyle Filipowski, who is averaging 18.4 points and 9.2 rebounds per game in his sophomore season. The Bears, meanwhile, have six players averaging in double-figures, headlined by freshman guard Ja'Kobe Walter (14.3 points per game).
