After Syracuse basketball ’s 10th-straight loss to the Blue Devils (nine of which have been by double-digits) SU head coach Adrian Autry was trying to assure the Orange masses that they will weather the storm and get back to a place where it can compete with the Blue Devils.

Now, though, third-year Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer and his squad are missing a different transfer forward in graduate Mason Gillis. The 6-foot-6, 225-pound reserve out of Purdue did not make the trip to Syracuse for the Blue Devils' showdown against the Orange (10-12, 4-7 ACC) at 7 p.m. Wednesday (ESPN2).
