Duke is Overrated:Let's be real, Duke's perceived dominance is a result of a watered-down schedule and a healthy dose of home cooking from the refs - they've had 12 more foul calls go in their favor than against them in conference play, and their strength of schedule ranks a mediocre 50th in the nation. Meanwhile, coaches like Mark Few and Bruce Pearl have been quietly building powerhouses at Gonzaga and Auburn, respectively. The Blue Devils' soft schedule has allowed them to rack up impressive win totals, but when they face real competition, they often come up short. Just look at their recent losses to Syracuse and NC State, where they were outcoached and outplayed.
Duke is Unstoppable:You can't diminish the fact that Duke has produced 5 NBA draft picks in the last 2 years, including Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett, and they're still dominating with a whole new cast of characters - Tre Jones and Vernon Carey are leading the charge this season. Coach K is a mastermind who always gets his teams ready for March, and their tournament pedigree is unmatched. Sure, they've had some tough losses, but they've also beaten Kansas, Michigan State, and Louisville, so it's not like they're ducking tough opponents. And by the way, Duke's been to the Elite Eight 5 times in the last 10 years, so they're doing something right.
