What we saw Saturday in Duke’s imposing win over Syracuse was something we probably won't see again any time soon: a young head coach who has brought a very young team along, in spite of injuries and inconsistency, to where it is now a formidable opponent for just about anyone.
We are seeing coach and team both grow into their potential at the same time. How wonderful is that?
This group of oh-so-young Devils has played young for most of the season. On Saturday, they did not play young.
They played with confidence, if not swagger.
