Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski was joined by the team's captains -- senior Joey Baker and junior Wendell Moore Jr., speaking to the media about the outlook of the team, the return of fans in college basketball arenas and the excitement for what will be an historic season of Duke Basketball.
"What I do for every year, it's to be in the moment, to get to know my guys," said Krzyzewski. "I feel great about my relationship with each individual player on our team. Because it wasn't like last year, I have spent a lot of time with them, and not being on the road recruiting has been a Godsend for me as far as developing those relationships."
In addition to answering questions from the media, Baker and Moore participated in photo shoots, individual interviews and network video segments. The pair were asked about recently being named captains, as well as what their expectations are for this year's group.
"For us and all the guys in the locker room, we really know we have a mission to accomplish," said Moore. "First we set the goal early – really in our first meeting we set the goal we wanted to accomplish, and we said the goal is not done until we accomplish what we want to accomplish."
"I think taking it day by day, not looking too far ahead, and just knowing that if we want to accomplish our goals, we have to come to work every single day, and doing that will take care of the rest of what we want to accomplish," said Baker. "Staying in the moment, working as hard as possible every day, and everything will take care of itself."
Fans will get their first look at the 2021-22 Blue Devils in Duke's Countdown to Craziness event on Friday, Oct. 15 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The event is set for 7 p.m. on ACC Network Extra.
