The Blue Devils are held to a higher standard. Just two years removed from their most recent National Championship, the 2012 version of Duke looked to compete for glory yet again with a stacked roster. Bowing out of the ACC Tournament early raised some eyebrows at the time, but a team which included Austin Rivers, Seth Curry, and, of course, Mike Kryzyewski was expected to figure it out.

Figure it out, they did not, as Duke would end up being upset in their first NCAA Tournament game by the Patriot League Champion Lehigh Mountain Hawks — led by a guard named C.J. McCollum.
