Duke and Kentucky keep slipping further toward mediocrity.
The Blue Devils were swept by Clemson and Notre Dame. Meanwhile, John Calipari and the Wildcats lost on the road against an Auburn team that came in with a sub-.500 record.
I understand that college basketball has no dominant team and this is a season of parity. There's still hope for just about anyone who can make the field of 68 come March.
However, it's difficult to envision these two teams making a deep run unless something major changes.
Duke will likely get Amile Jefferson back sometime in February, which will obviously help.
