a tad concerned
I'll admit it. I'm nervous. While the women have been doing their job, blowing out their early season non-conference opponents, the Duke men have struggled at times, only managing to score 64 against Boston University, squeezing by unranked Drexel 78-68, who had a realistic chance of winning until the final minute. The games with then #11 Memphis, and #16 Indiana were both won by by the Blue Devils, making them a perfect 6-0 but they were nailbiters, which is exactly what you don't expect from a team that was predicted to cruise to the national championship, blowing out teams left and right. What happens when conference play starts? The ACC currently has 5 teams ranked in the top 25, but as history as demonstrates, it's possible to lose to just about any other team in the conference on any given day. On the bright side, if things go well, the boys should be well prepared come march and just might run the table.
