They got to be. Their rep and expectation is so high because of Coach K.

Yes they will be better because Paulus and McRoberts are great players and will return. They had no starting seniors this season, and having at least one guy who has put his time in is a big help. Also Coach K is great at finding players who respect the tradition of college ball and want to graduate. Paulus and McRoberts will play together all the way through senior year and Duke should be back into a 1 or 2 spot and a strong tournament run the next two seasons.

Only if Coach K is involved more with the recruiting. Last year he spent most of his time preparing for the Olympics and lost focus on his coaching duties to Duke. So if he is back on track next year, Duke should be a little better.

Duke will definitely be better next year, they should return everyone from this years team and will add 3, possibly 4 all americans to the roster to make them an extremely deep team. Nick Singler the #1 small forward in the country, Taylor King the #2 small forward in the country, Nolan Smith the #3 shooting guard in the country and they could possibly land Patrick Patterson one of the top power forwards in the country. Duke will be extremly talented and a top 5 team all next year.

speaking as a huge Duke fan, I really hope that they will be better.
but honestly, they aren't gonna be much better next season. I don't think they're gonna get to the Final Four (as they have in the past) in the NCAA this year either.

They will be about the same as this year. Players like Gerald Henderson bring down the spirit of the team
