Psssssst! Want an insider tip on picking your NCAA men’s basketball tournament bracket(s) next March?
A sure-fire winner? Something to overflow the kids’ college funds?
Take Duke. Only Duke. In every bracket. And when it comes to that nettlesome tiebreaker, where you have to pick the score? Pick the Blue Devils big. Like 15 to 17 points big. Something along the lines of 83-67. At the very least.
Because the Dookies are loaded, quite possibly like never before, and that’s saying something for a program that’s won five NCAA titles under coach Mike Krzyzewski since 1991.
But perhaps never before has Duke University – as longtime college basketball announcer Billy Packer insisted on calling it – been this loaded, potentially filling four spots in its starting lineup this coming season with the No. 1-ranked high school players at their positions this past season.
