No. 10 Duke looks for answers with No. 5 UNC next

Posted February 06, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Mike Krzyzewski
TEAMS: Duke Blue Devils

Mike Krzyzewski says the 10 minutes he had on Monday's ACC coaches' teleconference wasn't nearly enough time to explain what the Blue Devils need to fix. Krzyzewski says he's ''going to stress more than I can talk to you about.'' No. 10 Duke (19-4, 6-2) remains near the top of the ACC but slipped three spots in the national rankings with the recent setbacks. Looming on the horizon for the Blue Devils is a date with No. 5 North Carolina later this week. Duke has lost two of its last three home games, and the only win in felt like a loss to Krzyzewski. Their latest defeat, a 78-74 overtime loss to Miami, included a noticeable lack of energy and effort - especially early as Duke fell behind by 16.
