Duke Eliminated By South Carolina In The Second Round

Duke finished their 2016-17 campaign Sunday after being eliminated by South Carolina in the NCAA Tournament finishing with a record of 28-9.   

Duke was attempting to reach the round of 16 for the sixth time in eight seasons. The Blue Devils, though, could not surmount South Carolina's stifling defense. Leading scorer Luke Kennard  had his second straight subpar shooting game, finishing 1 of 6 for 11 points before fouling out." according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211527921&DB_OEM_ID=4200

Grayson Allen led the way for Duke with 20 points. "according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211527921&DB_OEM_ID=4200

South Carolina meanwhile advances to the sweet sixteen after trailing by ten points early in the second half after one of its coldest shooting stretches of the season to start. But behind Thornwell's outside shooting and Silva's dominance underneath, South Carolina rallied to win two NCAA games for the first time in 44 years.

Amile Jefferson is now finished in a Duke uniform and Jayson Tatum likely will be entering the NBA Draft.   Will Luke Kennard return for his junior season? Will Grayson Allen  return for his senior year? If they do return what does next season have in store for Duke?
