Termine » three in their group.Just like his younger br

DURHAM, N.C. -- This isnt the Duke team that was picked No. 1 in the preseason.Thats no slight to these current Blue Devils, who in their present composition have been plenty strong enough to win seven of eight, take down Michigan State and earn a No. 5 ranking.But beneath the surface, one question lingers: How much better will this team be once three injured freshman big men -- Harry Giles, Marques Bolden and Jayson Tatum -- are finally healthy enough to play?Coach Mike Krzyzewski says its still not quite time to find out.Were getting there, but itll be a while, Krzyzewski said after the 78-69 victory over the Spartans on Tuesday night. We just have to keep playing our butts off and keep trying to win. Every teams season is a little bit different. We just have to run our race the way were running it, and eventually, hopefully, well get all those guys.Those three were major reasons why Duke (7-1) was the favorite to win the Atlantic Coast Conference and voted to the top spot in the preseason polls.But the Blue Devils insist theyre not content to merely tread water until those three are ready to go.We know how good we are -- were still improving, and we know when we incorporate these guys back in, were going to be that much better, All-America guard Grayson Allen said. But right now were very confident with what we have. Were not playing a waiting game where were waiting for those guys to get back. Were going full speed and approaching every game that way, and I think the group that we have has done a great job fighting with a shorter bench, just being tough and really playing a lot of minutes.In the past week, the three five-star freshmen have taken part in pregame warmups, with an inordinate amount of attention being paid to what happens in those layup lines. Bolden and Giles have gone through those drills at closer to full speed than Tatum.Giles had his left knee scoped in early October to clean up scar tissue after he tore ligaments three years ago. Tatum sprained his foot during a practice in front of NBA scouts later that month, and Bolden suffered a lower leg injury during the teams first exhibition game.Krzyzewski has often emphasized his teams long-term goals over any short-term jolt that might come from rushing them into action before theyre healthy -- and risking re-injury. He said during the preseason that Duke is going to try to conduct our season appropriately because the key question is will we have all the talent available at the time you have the opportunity to win the championship?But after the Michigan State win, he acknowledged the frustration his freshmen feel at having to watch such a high-intensity game from the bench.The thing thats most frustrating to the kids who are hurt -- a game like tonight, man, thats what they live for, he said. These guys want to be in that game.Depth wasnt supposed to be an issue for this seemingly loaded Duke team. But those three injuries, plus a nagging toe injury that has kept Allen from practicing, once again has the Blue Devils trying to figure things out.Duke played just six men against Michigan State -- the starting five, plus reserve big man Chase Jeter -- in what felt like a flashback to 2015-16 when the injury-ravaged Blue Devils routinely went only six or seven deep.We had visions of, `Man, our practices are going to be hellacious, five-on-five, Krzyzewski said. We havent had that at all. Its crazy.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.

LONDON -- Just under a year ago, Jamie Murray suffered a heartbreaking early exit at the Tour Finals when the Bryan brothers saved five match points to seal a thrilling comeback win over the Scot and then-partner John Peers.I thought about it [the 2015 match] in the changeover in the last game. A lot of people come up and ask me about that still, Murray admitted on Tuesday afternoon.He had just gained a measure of revenge by securing a 6-3, 6-4 win with Bruno Soares against the American duo -- whom he described going into the match as the greatest team in history.So it was no surprise the Australian Open and US Open winners agreed with the suggestion it was one of their best wins ever.Well, yeah, I think so, Murray told a news conference. We certainly played a great match, I mean, from start to finish. Probably one of our best matches of the year. We served really well throughout, cleaned up well on our serves.We had a good game plan to play against them. We executed it really well. We both returned the ball smartly, put it in some difficult spots for them, then were really active around the net.Were both super pumped about the win. Should have a good chance to progress further in the tournament now.ddddddddddddNext up are Marcelo Melo and Ivan Dodig on Thursday, with Murray and Soares looking to make it three wins from three in their group.Just like his younger brother Andy in the singles rankings, Jamie is chasing the year-end doubles No. 1 spot.He has to keep winning, like us, Jamie said of Andy, who opened his Tour Finals campaign with a win over Marin Cilic on Monday evening.That makes things easier for everyone. Im sure hes super motivated. He seemed like it in the match yesterday. Right from the beginning, he seemed pretty fired up. He was pretty positive throughout the match.For him to finish No. 1, thats his goal. Im sure its been the last few years. He does have a genuine chance to do it this year. Hes put himself in a good position. What an achievement it would be if he does do it.Were both focusing on our things. Our goals for the week Im sure are the same: to try to win, do the best we can. I dont imagine well be seeing each other that much till the weekend, if were both there.
