It’s a credit to the ongoing brilliance of Mike Krzyzewski that this Duke team has so effectively masked its flaws all season, but boy, are there flaws: rebounding, perimeter defense and inside scoring, just to name a few. Which is why this season’s Blue Devils fans — who typically approach each year with a national-title-or-bust mindset — might be better off hoping for a solid performance and a deep tournament run. If the Blue Devils get hot from beyond the arc, they’re incredibly difficult to beat. But can you win a title on the strength of outside shooting alone? The reasonable expectation is no.
