Next up for Duke is Wake Forest and while on paper this seems like a mismatch, dramatic developments at Wake over the weekend could change things considerably.
If you haven’t heard, Wake’s A.D. Ron Wellman, is stepping down. Dave Glenn broke the story and while we couldn’t read everything he wrote due to a firewall, we saw enough to see that he tied his “abrupt” retirement to Wake’s basketball woes.
If that’s the case then Danny Manning is on the way out and his players are going to be aware of that.
We’ve found ourselves wondering through the season, as Wake has had terrible struggles, if he’s lost his team.
