One fact should help Duke basketball haters to identify the Big Dance king.
Averaging three wins every four NCAA Tournament games “only” equates to an Elite Eight finish. Those quotes around “only” are only necessary since those who despise Duke basketball enjoy snickering any time Mike Krzyzewski falls short of a Final Four. These aspiring comedians laugh, laughably, even though the stats say that whichever teams they like likely exited earlier than the Blue Devils in whichever year serves as fodder for their jokes.

So props to the NCAA March Madness Twitter account this week for reporting the truth despite the public pressure to trash Duke at every opportunity and without regard for facts (google “Zion Williamson driver license”).
