Coach K Reacts To The Abrupt End Of Duke’s Season

Coach K had the Duke Blue Devils playing their best basketball of the season.

Duke was on the bubble for the March Madness tournament, and a win over Florida State in the ACC Tournament would’ve likely taken them over the hump. Unfortunately, a member of the team tested positive for COVID, and their seaaon came to a halt.

This was a tough pill to swallow for the team, after they worked so hard to get back into the mix.

According to reports, Coach K was reasonably devastated.

“I texted with Krzyzewski yesterday and [he was] devastated,” John Feinstein of the NY post said, via 247Sports. “He thought they could beat Florida State. They were finally playing pretty well. They beat a good Louisville team very handily on Wednesday night.”

Coach K also commented on the season ending due to a virus that has caused so much disappointment for so many people.

“While our season was different than any other that I can remember, I loved the 2020-21 Duke Basketball team and was honored to be their coach,” Coach K said. “We have not asked more of any team in our history, and they deserve enormous credit for handling everything like the outstanding young men that they are.”

There is no other way to put it other than to say that this sucks for all the Duke players who worked so hard to make this season happen during a global pandemic. What a shame.
