Duke basketball takeaways from victory against Michigan State: 

The Moment Was Not Too Big

Duke’s season hung in the balance.

It looked like the Blue Devils only had four minutes left together before their comeback.

Not only did the victory save Duke’s season, but it also proved the moment was not too big for these Blue Devils.

The spotlight that Mike Krzyzewski’s time on the sideline was running down was not too big.

The moment that looked extremely too big for this team in the regular-season finale against North Carolina and ACC Tournament Championship against Virginia Tech was not anymore.

It was a step in the right direction for obvious reasons, but one step backward for the Blue Devils means the season is over.
