GRAHAM: Red-Blooded Hoosiers Challenge Blue-Blooded Devils
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - It isn't just the school color.
Duke is a blue-blood.
By any men's-basketball measure.
And Indiana will take the measure of Duke when the No. 3-ranked Blue Devils host the Hoosiers for a 9:30 p.m. tip Tuesday as part of the annual Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
Both schools have won five NCAA titles apiece. But no school has thrived on the national scene since the inception of the 64-team tournament field quite as much as Duke.
Nobody else has:
A better NCAA-tournament winning percentage (.755 all-time).
More weeks topping the Associated Press poll (135 weeks as No. 1).
More Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championships (20).
