Will Duke get there?
This is the question of the 2016-17 season, the one we've been asking all along. We asked it when October's nigh-unanimous national title favorite was beset by injuries to star freshmen in November. We asked again when Grayson Allen's trip, and Mike Krzyzewski's back, fomented tumult in December. We asked it when the Blue Devils were symbolically barred from their locker room, and their practice equipment. And we asked it when Duke first met North Carolina in early February, when it won at Virginia six days later, when the answer, finally, tilted toward the affirmative.
