Mike Krzyzewski Tells Fans Not to Get 'Spoiled' by Zion Williamson, Duke Team

Duke head men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski wants fans to temper expectations for a team that is led by four of the country's top freshmen.

The Blue Devils are ranked No. 3, but they are coming off their first loss of the season to the now-No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs last week in a game that saw the Zags prevail 89-87.

According to ESPN.com's David M. Hale, Coach K said the following Tuesday regarding the way fans reacted to the Gonzaga loss: "Let's get real about this whole thing. Let's not get spoiled. We've got four 19-year-old kids that are busting their ass trying to learn how to play and have a lot of pressure on them.
