18. Duke Blue Devils

Previous ranking: 7

Record: 14-4 (2-3 ACC)

I don’t imagine too many people outside of Durham are crying over Duke’s 0-2 week. The Blue Devils lost consecutive road games at Florida State and Louisville to drop to ninth in the conference race. They get the Miami Hurricanes next to try and right the ship.

Luke Kennard and Grayson Allen are doing their best to keep Duke afloat right now. The duo combined for 40 points in the loss to the Cardinals. The team’s recent problem has been consistency: freshman Frank Jackson scored six points in his last two outings, Jayson Tatum scored 22 against FSU, but then went just 3-of-11 against Louisville, and forward Harry Giles still looks shaky recovering from injury. It’s hard to say just what this team’s ceiling is right now.
