28-6
The False Dawn. Duke starts 21-1, climbs to #2 in the country, and looks reborn. Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith arrive. Henderson becomes a star. Then the team goes 7-5 down the stretch, barely survives Belmont by a point, and gets physically manhandled out of the tournament by West Virginia. The rebuild isn’t over. It’s just getting started.
Coach: Mike Krzyzewski • In Between • Second Round (#2 seed West; beat Belmont 71-70; lost to West Virginia 73-67)
