So in football, Penn St should have their "eliteness" questioned because Joe Pa has been their coach forever and has done a phenomenal job???
Duke has been a 1 seed 11 of the past 20 years and made the FF 5 of those years they had the 1 seed. 11 times in 20 years is very solid. Making the FF only 5 times while getting 11 one seeds is not that spectacular.... but it is far better than what KU has done
In 88,89,90,91 and 94 Duke made the FF as a 2 or 3 seed. That is pretty spectacular. So is 4 titles in 20 years.
Duke's program has not been elite as long as some... but no question they are elite. Not to mention they are 4th all time in wins.
