Last Week: L vs UNC 72-88, W @ Syracuse 75-65; Next Week: @ VT 2/26, vs Miami 3/2
End-of-season Storyline: Can the talented freshmen handle adversity? - The Blue Devils were soundly defeated by their rivals in Chapel Hill after Zion Williamson’s shoe exploded less than a minute into the game. They were then able to avenge an earlier loss to Syracuse, so RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish are off to a good start.
