Duke Basketball: 5 Eye-Popping Stats from Blue Devils in 2015-16

In the grand scheme of things, the only numbers that really matter for Duke are the wins (eight, so far) and losses (one). It's not really that simple, though, as college basketball is so statistically driven that you have to pay attention to all the figures to get a true understanding of how a team is performing.

And this early in a season, some numbers tend to stand out more than others.

Duke's first nine games have resulted in some notable stats. Some don't figure to remain as good over the long run, others are in need of much improvement in order for the defending national champion to have a shot at repeating that title.
