A year ago, as a No. 2 seed (just like this year) playing a No. 15 seed in Lehigh (just like this year). Krzyzewski and Duke had, as it was described to him, “a bad experience.”
“If we keep looking back on our experiences, we’d get really overconfident,” Krzyzewski replied, with just a hint of a smirk, “because we’ve won four national championships and have been to 11 Final Fours.”
Oh, great. Here we go. The personification of why Duke is America’s Villain. Who else can turn a historic defeat into an opportunity for trash-talk (or this coach’s version of it)?
But Coach K had a point, and it may be one that will not only help him avoid a repeat of the Lehigh upset of 2012, but steer his team to a Final Four berth or national title to add to his haul … despite the out-of-the-ordinary obstacles Duke has faced this season.
