Ball Durham's Kevin Connelly joins us on ACC Nation Podcast this week to delve into the mysteries of this season's Duke's men's basketball team. What will it take to get past the struggles of a young team? How long will Coach K be sticking around? Can this team make it to the NCAA Tournament this season? Before you respond to that last question be sure to hear out Kevin's reasoning, it may change your mind.

It hasn't been the best of seasons for the Blue Devils. Connelly shares his thoughts on how things have gone so far and why. Is it a youth issue? Perhaps a lack of a strong leader on the court?
