The Final Four did it.
It really did it.
It made up for a fairly lackluster NCAA Tournament with an incredible pair of games.
The latter acting as the proper headliner.
The team everyone thought was going to steamroll their way through for a largely one-and-done national title.
I actually feel for Duke fans.
This isn’t your coach K era band of punch me face bros. And yes - they imploded.
They were dominant in pretty much everything.
Which is where the slander stat comes in…
Don’t you worry Duke fans.
Let’s get the facts straight here before you put on the Yankees game.
It’s Dodgers now, right?
I double checked the stats with my data and found that steals were in fact tracked before 1986. insert peppy elevator jazz music in your head for your scroll…
See.
Who could forget Ball State/ Boston College in the opening round of 1981?
I wasn’t even born.
But they blew it despite Ray McCallum scoring a game high 26-points going 13/19 from the field.
22 teams listed above were also Duke wins, so there’s that!
Most of any team with UNC right behind at 19.
So while the loss was really, really, really really bad.
It wasn’t as bad as the stat made it seem.
Always here for you, Duke fans.
Who’s pitching tonight?
