Duke basketball: Blue Devils need to buy the hype
Most times, November rankings don’t mean anything, but the next AP Poll might just be exactly what each Duke basketball player needs to see.
The No. 1 rule for any No. 1 team is to pay no attention to the hype that comes with the ranking. But one exception to the rule should be the current Duke basketball team.
Following No. 2 Duke’s 105-54 home win over Central Arkansas on Tuesday night — coinciding with No. 1 Kentucky’s embarrassing home loss to Evansville — barring either a hiccup at home against Georgia State on Friday at 7 p.m. (ACCN) or a spectacular win this week from another top-five team, the Blue Devils will be No. 1 when the next AP Poll comes out on Monday.
