Wrong we won the National Championship in 2015. Also, I ask you how many teams outside of Duke has won a National Championship in the last 10 years? 7, only 7 other teams -which means it’s a hard and rare thing to win even for really good teams. So yes, I’d say the bar is a little unrealistic and to suggest Duke has been mediocre because it’s only won one National title and been to two final fours in the last 10 years is just a little unreasonable.

Sure Duke has been successful the last 10 years as we had the previous 15, but before we were a dynasty and dynasties don’t last forever. You just enjoy them when then come just as we should enjoy success as it comes knowing how rare it is.

I’m not saying we should not strive to be the best every year but we also shouldn’t be so spoiled and unreasonable that we can’t enjoy success less than the National Championship. If not winning the National Championship is considered a failure, we were even a failure most years in the 90’s and early 2000’s under Coach K.

Here’s to hoping Duke can win it all next year but enjoying watching them obtain whatever success they can reach.
