‘Tis the season to be Duke, fa la la la la, la la la la. That was the new Christmas carol for the No.1 Duke basketball team after it beat No. 12 Texas Tech at Madison Square Garden before the holiday break.
Now, a new year of college basketball has begun.
The Blue Devils (11-1) have something to prove in ACC play. (The program hasn’t finished first in the conference during the regular season since 2010.)
They’ll have the opportunity to make a statement against the Clemson Tigers this Saturday night at 8 p.m. on ESPN.
