After suffering two losses last week, Duke Basketball fell out of the Top 10 for the first time this season. The Blue Devils were the preseason No. 1 team in the country and favorites to win the 2017 national title, and dropped to 18th in the latest national polls.
Duke suffered back-to-back losses on the road against Top 25 conference opponents last week. The Blue Devils fell 88-72 at Florida State and 78-69 at Louisville. It was a tough stretch for the Blue Devils without two extremely important pieces to the team. Duke Basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski is out up to four weeks as he recovers from back surgery.
