Mike Krzyzewski isn't ready to say his team is back to top form, but if Saturday's 79-59 win over Syracuse is any indication, Duke may finally be in the cusp of reaching its enormous potential.
Krzyzewski lamented the frustrating month that preceded Saturday's blowout victory, in which the No. 6 Blue Devils were beset by COVID-19 cancelations, late-game flubs, and an injury to starting guard Trevor Keels. But Saturday felt like old times.
With Keels sidelined with a leg injury, the Blue Devils still set a season high with 25 assists and 14 3-pointers and had five players in double digits in scoring, en route to the biggest blowout in their history against Syracuse.
