Put another way, if this season were happening in the mid-90s, we'd be way more confident and willing to brush off the losses at NCSU and at Wake. But it just feels like impending doom at this point.
Coach K has said all season that this is an "old school" Duke team. I've never actually understood what he means by that. If it's commentary that we used to have deep rotations [although he seems to be back to an 8-man rotation with this current team] and less star talent, that is wrong, haha. But hopefully he is proven right in one way -- that we end up making a Final Four run when not having a 1-seed.
I feel the opposite this time around. This feels like a tourney team and I don't see another team this well rounded outside of maybe 3 teams.
