Reaction to Duke s history-making win over Boston College
It’s a, “do or die,” situation for the Duke Blue Devils right now. Looking to fight their way into the NCAA Tournament this week at the ACC Tournament, the Blue Devils know that they cannot suffer a bad loss this week, or any hopes at squeaking into the field of 68 as a bubble team goes out the door. On Tuesday, Duke avoided that potentially horrible loss.
Unusually playing on Tuesday of the ACC Tournament, Duke coasted past the Boston College Eagles, 86-51 at the Greensboro Coliseum on Tuesday evening. The win kept the Blue Devils’ season alive and earned them a spot in the second round of the tournament on Wednesday night against the seventh-seeded Louisville Cardinals. If Duke wins again, it will face second-seeded Florida State in the quarterfinals.

15 NORMAN, Okla. Oklahoma enters the offseason as one of the hottest teams nationally. The Sooners finished 2020 on an eight-game winning streak capped by a 55-20 Cotton Bowl rout of No. 7 Florida.
The Athletic’s Stewart Mandel ranked OU second in his early top 25 for 2021.
OU returns a potential superstar at quarterback and several talented wide receivers, as well as a two-time 1,000-yard rusher who opted out last season. But there are several key pieces to replace, too, and serious questions about running back depth.
