Duke Without Irving

The Blue Devils continue to coast, and with the ACC being weak this year, the absence of Kyrie Irving will not be a major problem for them.  My guess is that they will not bring Irving back until he is 100%, and by the time that happens they may as well shut him down for the year.  He would disrupt team chemistry on a team that lives and dies with team chemistry.

The Blue Devils will plan their offensive and defensive strategies without Irving in the mix.  I don't think it will affect their ability to win the ACC and gain a number 1 seed in March.  If there is a team out there that can overcome the loss of a star, it's Duke.  That program is a machine, and we'll see it again this year.
