Duke sophomore guard Nolan Smith will miss a third consecutive game while recovering from a concussion he suffered against Maryland. NBC Sports reports that Duke is pretty banged up entering the season finale at Chapel Hill.
Coach Mike “Krzyzewski also said junior forward Lance Thomas is still uncertain due to a sprained ankle suffered against Florida State on Wednesday.
However, 7-foot-1 junior Brian Zoubek will play despite a broken nose suffered against the Seminoles.”
Duke lost the first match up in Durham 101-87 as Ty Lawson dominated in the second half. Krzyzewski switched his starting lineup shortly after that game, taking freshman Eilliot Williams off the bench. Duke has won five straight with Williams starting.
