Having one junior, 2 sophs and 2 freshmen starters makes for a different team this year for the Duke Blue Devils. The regular season started lasted week with ACC conference play, and after an 0-2 start the dukies have won their last two games. Now 13-3 overall and 2-2 in conference play, I can tell the team is starting to play with more intensity and more emphasis on defense. They have a long way to go but I enjoyed the last game and like the way they are playing now. After losing their first two ACC conference games, it seems Coach K found way to get their attention. He took all the pictures of the past Duke teams off of the walls in the locker room, and according to the broadcasters, he told the players that they were not a Duke team yet. He also chided the fans and told them they were not Duke fans yet. I think he made his point.
Next game at N.C. State, Jan. 20, 3:30 PM, ABC
