I’d estimate the over under for Duke losses in the 2021-2022 men’s basketball season is set at 3.5 after the night the ACC had last night.
And, you must realize that these November and December games, as unimportant as they may seem, are the only was the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee has to compare conference strengths. All the January-March games are between conference members (except for the Big12-SEC competition on January 29). Unless the ACC shows some mettle against the Big Ten, I expect we will have only a few entries in the NCAA tournament in March.
