(1:55)Alabama coach Nate Oats seemed to question Mike Krzyzewski's motives after the Duke coach called for a reassessment about playing college basketball during a pandemic, openly wondering whether the comments were triggered by a pair of losses for the No. 10 Blue Devils."Do you think if Coach K hadn't lost his two nonconference games at home that he would still be saying that?" Oats said at a news conference Thursday, adding, "We 100 percent should be playing basketball."Following his team's 83-68 loss to No. 6 Illinois on Tuesday, Duke's second nonconference home loss this season, Krzyzewski urged college basketball officials to "reassess" the state of the sport following a series of cancellations and postponements, including a highly anticipated matchup between No. 1 Gonzaga and No. 2 Baylor on Saturday in Indianapolis.Duke's loss to Illinois was the team's largest nonconference home loss under Krzyzewski.
