Will Duke basketball return from break rested or rusty?

For fans, it's felt like an eternity without Duke basketball. It's that time of the year when the players get a break from the pressure of games and hit the books to prepare for their exams.

With their last two games being on the road in hostile environments — at Michigan State and then at Virginia Tech — and the Blue Devils coming out on top in both in the same week, it's safe to say the team earned a good break.

Although the anticipation is killing us, most fans are asking themselves how sharp the team will be after such a long rest.
