(03/19/23 9:01am)

ORLANDO, Fla.—Last Saturday, after the Blue Devils earned the right to hang another ACC championship banner in Cameron Indoor Stadium, Tyrese Proctor said, “I don’t think we are freshmen at all anymore.

'The growth continues': Imperfect win against N.C. State shows Duke men's basketball is peaking at the right time

In the teams’ Jan. 4 bout, N.C. State whooped the Blue Devils 84-60 in Duke’s worst loss of the season. Two weeks prior, Duke had fallen to Wake Forest and 10 days later, it would suffer another blow at the hands of Clemson. The only thing to take from a performance defined by turnovers and a breakdown of the team’s game plan was that the Blue Devils had serious questions to answer. Amidst lineup churn and glaring deficiencies, could Duke become a true postseason challenger by March?
