Tuesday night was no mirage or one-off game, it continued a troubling trend with the Duke basketball team that the Blue Devils just aren’t consistent enough to win games against tough competition.
Digging a hole against teams like Coppin State, Bellarmine, Boston College, and Wake Forest isn’t ideal but it’s not as difficult to erase an early deficit.
It’s quite different trying to rally against teams like Michigan State, Illinois, and Virginia Tech something Duke has not been able to do this season.
