Duke’s season: Which is it?

Duke’s season ended in devastating fashion Saturday afternoon in Washington, an upset victim to West Virginia in the NCAA Tournament’s second round.
Though some people don’t go so far as to call it an upset, figuring Duke’s recent struggles made it a prime candidate to go down on the tournament’s first weekend.
So we ask: Did the Blue Devils overchieve so much during the first few months of the season that they created unrealistic expectations for themselves?
Or was this a monumental collapse the past few weeks, with three losses in the last five games (and nearly a loss for the ages in the NCAA Tournament’s first round to Belmont)?
Such questions about how this Duke team should be perceived could persist throughout its offseason.
What do you think?
