Coach K said a day prior to the tournament, their is a possibly his super freshman from New Jersey Kyrie Irving could return to the lineup. The freshman point guard hasn't played since suffering an injury three months ago vs. Butler. How ironic Butler is the team Duke defeated to win the 2010 National Championship. The Bluedevils begin their 2011 title defense as a #1 seed in the West Region. If Duke can get Irving back it puts everyone else in their natural positions. Especially All American Nolan Smith, who's been everything for Duke this season, he could move back to his natural shooting guard position. Duke would be one step closer to the likes of Kansas and Ohio State in terms of winning the championship, as many experts have the Jayhawks and Buckeyes as the favorites to cut down the nets.
