The term “road warriors” can be a bit overused.
But I think we can agree that Duke’s basketball has earned that designation.
Six games in 15 days, five in 13, road trips to Louisville, Notre Dame, North Carolina, Clemson and Boston College in that span, curiously wins in all five road games and a loss at home.
That includes Saturday’s 72-61 win over Boston College, a win that runs Duke’s record to 11-3 in the ACC, 21-4 overall.
Expressions like “methodical,” “workmanlike,” and “business-like” come to mind and that’s pretty good for a team that followed Thursday night’s game at Clemson with a flight that saw them hit Beantown around 3 A.
