The big question is "How will Duke Handle Playing on the Road (at Last)?"

Wake Forest represents their first true road game.

John Gasaway of ESPN.com writes:

For one thing, every other team in Division I has already played at least one road game. The Blue Devils are the last program in the country to play a game on an opponent's home floor. (They have played five games on neutral courts.)

This is very much Mike Krzyzewski's usual way of doing things. Not counting the occasional ACC/Big Ten Challenge pairing, Duke hasn't played a true road game before the start of ACC play since 2012.

Secondly, life on the road is difficult, even for the top-ranked team in the country. What can we expect to see from Mike Krzyzewski's group over the next nine road games? How much does it matter, if at all, that this is a particularly young Duke team?
