Without Amile Jefferson, are the Blue Devils vulnerable?
Next up for Duke is just-down-the-road Elon, and while Elon might seem like an easy mark, we wouldn't count on that so much this year.
Duke is rebuilding without Amile Jefferson, who is out with a serious foot injury. Last year, with far more talent, Duke only beat Elon 75-62.
We've talked before about what a great job we think Elon coach Matt Matheny is doing. A Bob McKillop protege and Davidson grad, Matheny has been outstanding. At Elon's level like anywhere else you look at the record, but you should also look at how a team responds to a coach.
