The 2022-23 Duke Blue Devils faced the impossible task of meeting the long-held expectations built over the years under the legendary head coach Mike Krzyzewski.
While a young Duke team had its fair share of success this season led by Coach K’s successor John Scheyer, they ultimately fell flat in the second round of the NCAA Tournament Saturday against the Tennessee Volunteers.
In a grinding, physical game, the Vols held the Blue Devils to only 52 points in a 13-point win. According to ESPN Stats and Info, Duke tied a program record for futility in an NCAA Tournament game, equaling the 1980 team for the lowest output, albeit in a victory, over Pennsylvania.
