Duke finally figured out how to play without Ryan Kelly. North Carolina State might have to do the same if Lorenzo Brown isn’t healthy yet. The Wolfpack (16-6, 5-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) visit the fourth-ranked Blue Devils for a rematch tonight ( 6, ESPN3.com), and while Duke knows it will be without one of its best players, N.C. State could be in the same situation if Brown’s ankle isn’t healthy enough to go. After struggling mightily in their first few games since Kelly’s injury, the Blue Devils (19-2, 6-2) have righted themselves, winning three straight to improve to 4-2 without the versatile power forward. – Associated Press
