Duke coach Jon Scheyer did not travel with the No. 4 Blue Devils for their 89-62 victory at SMU on Saturday due to illness. The program revealed Scheyer's status roughly 15 minutes before tipoff and announced associate head coach Chris Carrawell would serve as acting head coach for the game.

Cooper Flagg and the Duke men's basketball team extended their win streak to eight games on Saturday, handing a red-hot SMU squad a 27-point loss on its own court, and coaches around the country still see the Blue Devils as a top-four team.

Running the table in a power conference is incredibly difficult, but with how well Duke is playing — and how poor the rest of the ACC looks — it’s not out of the question.
