he seventh-ranked Duke Blue Devils will play for the third time this season in famed Madison Square Garden, as they take on the 15th-ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs this afternoon in a top-25 non-conference clash, dubbed the Aeropostale Classic. Mike Krzyzewski’s Blue Devils captured the NIT Season Tip-Off title in the Big Apple at the end of November with wins over both Arizona State (64-53) and Connecticut (68-59). More recently, the team has strung together back-to-back victories at home, including a 113-68 dismantling of Gardner-Webb on Tuesday. Mark Few’s Bulldogs have won eight of their 10 games thus far, with the losses coming against the likes of Michigan State (75-71) and Wake Forest (77-75). The Zags also enter this matchup with a small two-game win streak in tow, routing Augustana (79-40), before winning a shootout with Davidson last weekend (103-91). This is just the second time these teams have ever met one another on the hardwood. Duke won the only other matchup, a 61-54 decision
