Barring a last-minute problem, the Duke basketball opener looks to be a go.

This week has been a roller coaster for anxious Duke basketball fans. Of course, the same goes for the players and staff, as they still must await their season opener while watching other teams across the country make their long-awaited debuts.

No. 9 Duke and No. 2 Baylor are the only two squads among the top 10 in the preseason AP Poll who have yet to begin their 2020-21 campaigns.

Blue Devils everywhere awoke on Monday with goosebumps in anticipation of what was supposed to be Wednesday’s season opener at home against Gardner-Webb.
