2021 ACC Tournament Preview
Duke beat Florida State in the most recent ACC Tournament back in 2019, but the Blue Devils’ odds of winning again this year seem more steep than ever. The Blue Devils are coming off a 91-73 loss to the North Carolina Tar Heels Saturday, and with an at large bid to the NCAA Tournament a near-impossibility without a win in the tourney this year, they find themselves in a unique place.
“I need to help them more confidence-wise and just coaching-wise, so that they can turn this around,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said, adding: “They have good attitudes. Our practices are good. They’re good kids. But did we play well? No. Did I prepare them well? No. … I didn’t help them enough, and that’s my responsibility. I’m going to do try to do what I can to help them play well on Tuesday, and not look at anything else.”
