With Monday night’s loss to Syracuse, the Duke basketball team dropped its third straight game.
The Blue Devils now find themselves with a 3-3 conference record and 14-5 overall, with its most difficult stretch of the schedule coming over the next month.
At this point, it appears to be a valid concern whether Duke could be in jeopardy of missing the NCAA Tournament.
Two weeks ago, Duke appeared to be headed in the right direction, despite being without Amile Jefferson. Marshall Plumlee was playing the best of his career and Coach K was utilizing a smaller lineup with tremendous success.
