Now, we’re nearing the end of February, the Blue Devils are 11-8, have three regular season games left against and ESPN has them slated as one of the first four teams out.

So, believe it or not, yes, the Blue Devils can realistically make March Madness. In fact, if they go 2-1 to close the regular season at 13-9, I’d say they’re likely going to make the tournament.
Tack on a couple wins in the ACC tournament, and it’s a done deal.

Seeing as how bad the Blue Devils were just a few weeks ago and the exit of Jalen Johnson, it’s borderline shocking that Coach K might make the tournament.
I would have bet anything at the start of February there was no chance Duke would be playing in March Madness.
Then, they rattled off four straight wins, including one over Virginia. That changed the calculus on everything.

It’s still far from certain, but Duke is shockingly in a position to play for a title. How they did it, I’m not really sure, but here we are.
