When was the last time Duke went undefeated in January? Scheyer might somehow do it

It looks like the answer is 2008. That team started off very well.

By contrast, the 2010 team had three of their five total losses in January. Coach K was dogshit in January.

Gerorgetown State, Miami disaster

ND, State, Miami disaster

Jan 2015 was bad too with the State/Miami defensive meltdowns b2b.

To add to this, when Duke beat Maryland at home on February 13th 2008, they were 22-1 and #1 in the country. Their only loss was by a single point against the #11 Pittsburgh team at the buzzer in OT. They then finished 6-5 the rest of the way.

2008 was another smallball disaster, like this 2024 team without the Patriot, Mark Mitchell.

06 was similar. Started 27-1, finished 32-4.

Yeah, looks like we did have a January loss though. 87-84 to Georgetown for our first loss of the season. I have no memory of that. I vividly remember our loss at Florida State though. First ACC loss after starting 14-0.

What happened to Roach?

Redick went nuts with around 40, but somehow freshman Paulus ended up taking the potential tying shot at the buzzer.

Duke is favored by 12.

 

[rome8180]

Pelicans, Orlando, and Boston ALL lost tonight. Duke is fucked.

 

[CK86]

No Roach or Mitchell tonight

 

[aiw]

Fuck...

Should still win, but not ideal
