WASHINGTON, D.C. – Duke headed back to Durham Thursday night, hours after the disappointing loss to Notre Dame in the quarterfinals of the 2016 ACC Tournament.
"The good thing is we’re going to play next week," Mike Krzyzewski told the media in the aftermath of the loss. "We get out of here and get some rest."
Duke has either seven or eight days – depending on whether the Blue Devils draw a Thursday or Friday opener in the NCAA Tournament – to rest and get rejuvenated.
It’s a week that this young, depth-less team needs.
"Let’s get rest," Krzyzewski said.
