One early injury could send Duke basketball team into free fall

With a No. 4 AP ranking entering the season, one would think it would take a while for the Duke basketball squad to fall out of the Top 25. Think again.

Knock on wood, but if one or more of a select trio succumbs to a weeks-to-heal injury either before the season tips off on Nov. 5 against No. 3 Kansas or shortly thereafter, the Blue Devils could find themselves with a handful of losses by Dec. 6.

While the Blue Devils seemingly have more depth than in recent years, what some see as depth others would argue is just role-player parity.
