There’s no guarantee that Duke will win Saturday, let alone win it all. But what we saw in this 78-73 win over Texas Tech is a team growing up in real time and reaching for championship form. What we saw against Michigan State, and now Thursday against a great - not good, great - team that - is a Duke team with incredible heart and in the case of Jeremy Roach, the heart of a lion.
Let’s go back to Texas Tech. That team is something else. It’s like Virginia with a more promiscuous offense. They’re an amazing group and Mark Adams has done a brilliant job.
