Well, there’s not much nuance left to Duke’s 2020-’21 basketball season. The Blue Devils have to go to Greensboro next week and win basketball games. Lots of them.
Unfortunately, Duke has an opportunity to win lots of games.
North Carolina’s 91-73 drubbing of Duke Saturday night in the Smith Center dropped Duke to the 10th seed in the ACC Tournament. Tenth seed is something we usually talk about when discussing Duke’s overall NCAA seed after a down season.
But not this year.
And make no mistake, Duke looked every bit the part of an ACC 10th seed.
