Duke basketball must follow up its win over No. 7 Virginia against Syracuse at home.
Mike Krzyzewski and the Duke basketball program picked up exactly what it needed against the No. 7 Virginia Cavaliers, a signature victory.
However, as the Blue Devils reemerge on the bubble of the NCAA Tournament all the work it has done over the last three outings would be erased with a loss to the Syracuse Orange (13-7, 7-5 ACC) at home on Monday.
Syracuse is a fellow bubble team in the ACC and its head coach Jim Boeheim made headlines last week as he had some choice words regarding the situation of former Blue Devil Jalen Johnson which he then walked back after heavy backlash.
