Sunday night marked the official end of the Duke basketball season.
The nightmare that was the 2020-21 Duke basketball season is officially over.
Duke was neither selected to the NCAA Tournament nor named as a replacement team and the Blue Devils will not participate in the 2021 National Invitational Tournament, as first reported by Stephen Wiseman.
The decision of removing its name from consideration for the NIT should not come as a surprise to anyone as head coach Mike Krzyzewski was not thrilled at the idea of plowing through and playing a full regular season in a pandemic.
