All Duke basketball games will be quite a spectacle, but several stand out.

I shouldn’t complain. The fact that Duke basketball even had a season last year was a blessing in itself. In the troubled times of COVID, having a positive outlet — well, mostly positive — was a sight for sore souls.

While the Duke Blue Devils weren’t exactly pleasant to watch last year, they still provided entertainment week in and week out. This year, however, will add a vital element that the Dukies sorely missed during their 2020-21 run.
