No. 17 Duke: 15-5 (3-4 ACC)

It can be difficult for a team to continue to succeed without the usual head coach at the helm. When that head coach is Mike Krzyzewski, the hole is much more prominent and noticeable. However, the Blue Devils have had moderate success this season, with or without Coach K on the sideline.

The most noticeable blemishes on the Devils’ season thus far are the losses to Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va. and to NC State at home. Despite these slip-ups, Duke continues to look like a mid-to-high level contender for the ACC title. The Cameron Crazies should have plenty to celebrate in March so long as Duke doesn’t trip over itself (pun intended).
