Duke's Jeremy Roach Led 'Come-to-Reality' Team Meeting Before 8-Game Winning Streak

Ahead of its matchup against Virginia in the ACC Tournament final, Duke is amid its best stretch of the season as the team has won eight consecutive games dating back to a Feb. 14 win against Notre Dame.

The genesis of the win streak came following the Blue Devils' 22-point road loss to Miami on Feb. 6.

The day following the game Roach—along with fellow team leaders Jacob Grandison and Ryan Young—called a team meeting in the locker room that changed the course of their season, according to a report by The Athletic's Brendan Marks

"That team meeting, it was so necessary for us," Roach said following Duke's win over Miami in the ACC Tournament semifinals.
