Duke opens the NCAA tournament Friday as the No. 2 seed in the East Region.
The seventh-ranked Blue Devils (27-8) will take on No. 15 seed Troy (22-14) in Greenville, S.C., at Bon Secours Wellness Arena at 7:20 p.m.
Duke won four games in four days at the ACC tournament to earn its seed, and the Blue Devils look to be getting stronger.
Three questions for Duke as the tournament opener approaches:
Is Harry Giles really himself again?
The freshman forward’s stat line from the ACC tournament doesn’t tell all of the story. How about the big block and then the slam on the other end against North Carolina in the semifinal round, helping Duke keep the Tar Heels at bay inside the five-minute mark?
