Doomed Blue Devils

Duke Blue DevilsThe Duke Blue Devils mens basketball team fell out of the top 25 for the first time since the end of the 1995-96 team.  I remember that team very well because that was the year Mike Krzyzewski bowed out of the season as coach due to back problems.  I personally thought his ego and pride hurt worse, but nonetheless he didn’t finish coaching that year.  Well, this year’s Duke Blue Devils have now lost four games in a row and stand at a record of 18-7 overall and 5-6 in the ACC.  Will Krzykewski get a mysterious injury or will  the Blue Devils fall so far that they don’t even make the NCAA tournament?  These are the questions we will have answered in the coming weeks and I personally have enjoyed the fall from grace the Devils have endured.  Duke travels to Boston College this Valentines Day for what could be five in a row. 🙂
