Duke Wins 5th National Championship

                       

Duke University claimed it's 5th National Championship under coach Mike Krzyzewski, defeating the Wisconsin Badgers 68-63.  Not only did the victory erase the memory of last years debilitating first round exit, it reminded us all of the heart and resilience of this storied program.  Though some may despise it, there is a certain respect and admiration one must have for the determination and will Coach K has imparted on this team.  The maturity and growth of players like Grayson Allen Tyus Jones, Justice Winslow, and Jahlil Okafor speaks volumes to the preparation and trust placed upon them, even as young freshman.

As time marches on and decisions are made, there will be doubt that this team will even come close to repeating such a glorious run.  With the potential to lose much of their talent to the NBA, those doubts could find truth.  However, the allure of the Blue Devils program and the influence of Mike Krzyzewski will always draw the most gifted athletes to the hardwood of Cameron Indoor.  That alone, will keep Duke in the discussion for many years to come.

Coach K Reaches Milestone

                                       
                                     

Yesterday, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski earned his 1,000th win by defeating St. John's at the world's most famous arena Madison Square Garden.  His remarkable consistency and success is something that will be marveled and revered for many years to come.  Though there are may whom despise Duke and all of it's history, not a single person can share that same disdain for a man whom has brought so much to the game.  From his stoic demeanor, to his preaching of teamwork and togetherness Krzyzewski has proven that he is more than just a coach.  This historic milestone not only serves as the crowning achievement for a man who is perhaps the best to ever walk the sidelines, it serves as the foundation for all who dream to walk in the shoes he has walked in for 35 years.
