Duke’s season has reportedly come to an end.

According to Jeff Goodman, the Blue Devils have pulled out of the ACC tournament after a positive coronavirus test. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

That means any hope they had left of making March Madness is officially gone.

What an absolutely insane turn of events. Just earlier today, I said Duke’s chances were clinging to life going into the Thursday night matchup against Florida State.

Now, just a few hours later, they’re out of the ACC tournament, and that means they’re not making the dance.

I’m sitting here absolutely stunned right now. I didn’t expect Duke to win tonight, but I also damn sure didn’t expect their season to end on this note.

They could in theory still make the NIT, but I think we all know the Blue Devils don’t want any part of that.

What an insane and unfortunate series of events for Duke and all their fans. I wanted to see them go down, but not like this. Damn sure I didn’t want to see it happen like this.
