With Duke struggling in this bizarre basketball season, the question now seems to be: can the Blue Devils make the NCAA Tournament?
And the first answer is, well yes. And the second answer is that no matter what else happens, you can’t say absolutely not until the ACC Tournament is over and the bids go out.
But yes, this is an atypical season.
Canceling three non-conference games didn’t help. Duke would likely be 8-4 which would look a lot better than the current 5-4.
Thing is though that while there’s plenty of madness to this season there’s also lots of method and the main method to success is experience.
