DURHAM, N.C. — No. 3 Duke is rolling through the first chunk of its Atlantic Coast Conference schedule. That has third-year coach Jon Scheyer pushing the Blue Devils to keep their "foot on the gas" and show a "killer instinct." Duke enters Saturday's trip to Boston College with six of its seven ACC wins coming by double-figure margins. Five of those have come by at least 23 points. Analytics rankings like KenPom show a massive gap between Duke and the rest of the ACC. Duke also enters the weekend alongside top-ranked Auburn as the betting favorite to win the NCAA title.
