We bring you The Chronicle's 2021-22 season preview of Duke.
With Duke men's basketball's first regular season game against Kentucky at Madison Square Garden just around the corner, the Blue Zone takes a look at some film to analyze what Blue Devil faithful can expect come Tuesday.
Duke men's basketball takes the floor for the first time this season in a primetime matchup with Kentucky Tuesday in New York. Each team has a lot to prove after disappointing seasons, so here we have an X-factor for each team that can be the spark to lead their squad to victory in the season-opening battle of the blue-bloods:
Tatum, Reddish and Curry feature in this week's look into how former Duke stars fare in the NBA.
This fast-paced transition gameplay caught Wingate off guard, but Duke’s frequent inability to finish prevented it from ever fully capitalizing.
The Blue Devils are one of the few most-talented teams in the ACC, but sixty percent of that talent is new to Durham, N.C. For 11.5 minutes on Thursday, the latter was more apparent. But for the next 14.5, the former shone through.
All the usual excitement and preseason buzz surrounds Duke’s year, but this season is going to be a special one, regardless of the outcome. The 2021-22 season will be head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s last, and he’s got a squad with the potential to send him to New Orleans for a chance at a sixth ring. The usual ACC suspects fill Duke’s schedule this year, and the Blue Devils have a few primetime nonconference matchups against college basketball’s finest.
This year’s roster has tremendous potential, and with the combination of seasoned veterans and talented freshmen, head coach Mike Krzyzewski has plenty of room to tinker around and find the winning formula.
With the season's tipoff for Duke men basketball fast approaching, the Chronicle has previewed every team on the Blue Devils' schedule.
The Blue Devils tip things off in just five days against Kentucky in Madison Square Garden, so our beats sat down to give their predictions for the highly-anticipated campaign.
Today, one year older, stronger and wiser, the second-year man from Virginia Beach, Va., looks set to be a leader.
Winning a national championship is the goal every season, but as we turn the page on the Coach K era, this season is about more than what the Blue Devils accomplish. There’s over 40 years of history to reminisce, so let’s take some of the weight off Duke’s shoulders and enjoy the ride.
The graduate student carries a massive weight into this season. His experience has led him into a crucial role for head coach Mike Krzyzewski and assistant coach Chris Carrawell.
It is becoming increasingly clear that this season becoming the capstone of head coach Mike Krzyzewski's career has placed an added pressure on his team to win. And given the severity of this season and everything that's at stake, I believe the team should be facing more pressure to succeed.
Duke men's basketball players jumped at the opportunity to profit off of their name, image, and likeness. Stars like Paolo Banchero and others partnered with companies like Bojangles and Panini America.
“It’s something you dream about as a kid,” Baker said. “Playing in the driveway, playing for Duke and being in big games, big moments.”
As the No. 4 recruit and a candidate for the top pick in next year’s draft, Banchero will be one of the most followed storylines in the country this season.
Jeremy Roach and Trevor Keels already led their school to one championship. Now they'll try to do it again.
The day of Krzyzewski’s retirement was also a celebration of a four-decade long tapestry woven with the threads of the entire Krzyzewski family.
Duke came out strong in the first half behind a collective effort from over half of its roster. Senior Miela Goodchild led with her 11 points, but it was Celeste Taylor who ignited the offense with her eight straight points to start off the game. The Blue Devils take a 42-19 lead into halftime, and here’s our five observations.
