Duke Basketball is back in the Top 25 rankings as the national college basketball polls were released today. The 19-6 Blue Devils were ranked #20 by the Associated Press poll and were #19 in the USA Today Coaches poll for Week 15.
Duke struggled early in conference play, mostly due to Amile Jefferson’s foot injury, losing 4 of 5 games heading into the toughest part of their schedule- including a three-game losing streak to Clemson, Notre Dame, and Syracuse. Head coach Mike Krzyzewski seems to have the team back on track and showing major improvements, and the Blue Devils have won four games in a row including two straight against ranked ACC opponents Louisville and Virginia.
