CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- A very different Duke program awaited Boston College prior to their game on Wednesday night. The same white and blue uniforms warmed up with freakish athleticism, but the identical Blue Devils failed to pop the same intimidation factor on their home court without the Cameron Crazies. And due to the always lingering COVID-19 protocols, Hall of Fame head coach Mike Krzyzewski was quarantining, handing the reins to associate head coach Jon Scheyer for the Blue Devils' first game in close to three weeks.
It represented a great opportunity for the Eagles to rediscover their stroke against an elite opponent, and it offered a chance for them to win at Cameron Indoor Stadium for the first time in program history.
