There are 15 men between the ages of 18 and 22 on the Blue Devils’ roster heading into the season. Knowing Mike Krzyzewski, approximately eight of those 15 men will actually play basketball between November and March. But judging by last year’s injury luck, all 15 will play meaningful minutes somehow, so here’s a ranking of the entire roster, only measured in small part by basketball talent.
It was a business-as-usual affair for No. 4 Duke, as it overpowered a gritty conference opponent to push its winning streak to 12 games.
Virginia has been off to a surprising start this season, posting a 3-1 record and notching impressive victories over Connecticut and Boise State. In order to secure those wins, the Cavaliers have leaned on an impressive passing game—led by senior Kurt Benkert—and a stout, opportunistic defense, with star linebacker Micah Kiser at its center.
It looked like Duke would earn its first goal of ACC almost immediately after the first whistle blew. After a shot went wide and another hit the woodwork, the Blue Devils looked primed to go up early.
Thursday night at 8:30, the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots—led by Tom Brady and his formidable cast of playmakers—will take on receiver Tyreek Hill and the far less talented Kansas City Chiefs’ supporting cast.

An indomitable football force versus a team waiting for an excuse to start its rookie quarterback.
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y.—After two consecutive quick exits from the NCAA tournament, a commanding first-round win against Johns Hopkins appeared to give the Blue Devils the juice to advance to next week's Final Four in Boston.
Heading into its final regular-season game after a deflating loss to Notre Dame in the ACC Tournament semifinals, the prevailing sentiment was that if Duke could not get past a scrappy Boston University team, it could miss the postseason for the first time in a decade.
During the regular season, Duke boasted a top-10 defense, holding opponents to fewer than 10 goals a game on average, and against Notre Dame in the ACC semifinals, it did just that again.
Just a few weeks ago, Inside Lacrosse Magazine projected Duke outside of the NCAA tournament field. Since then, the Blue Devils have ripped off three straight ACC wins to go flying to the top of the polls.
Entering the season with high hopes after the program's first NCAA championship berth last year, Duke elevated its standard of competition in Columbus, Ohio, and showed it still has a lot of work to do to keep up with the top teams in the nation.
Facing a Notre Dame program that had upended the Blue Devils four straight times in Durham, Duke wanted to get off to a strong start with second place in the ACC on the line after falling behind 6-1 to then-No. 18 North Carolina last week.
When Duke beat Jacksonville in March, Blue Devil head coach John Danowski made history with his NCAA Division I record 376th career win. Standing next to him on the sideline for the seminal victory was his son—assistant coach and former Blue Devil great Matt Danowski.
With just seconds remaining in regulation and the score tied at 11, Duke junior and star attackman Justin Guterding rolled around the side of the crease to feed his fellow veteran Jack Bruckner at the doorstep.
I grew up as a Michigan football fan, meaning that in December 2014, I watched the rumors that the program would hire Jim Harbaugh with bated breath.

When John Danowski was hired to come to Duke, he inherited a program reeling after three of its players had been falsely accused of rape, the head coach who led the team to the 2005 national title game had been fired and the end of the Blue Devils' 2006 season had been cancelled.
The fifth-seeded Blue Devils rallied from an eight-point deficit to defeat the third-seeded Fighting Irish 75-69 at the Barclays Center in New York Saturday and win their first ACC championship since 2011.
