The Duke basketball program is at a disadvantage heading into the 2021-22 season.
College basketball fans were chomping at the bit to ridicule Mike Krzyzewski and the Duke basketball program for hosting the Michigan State Spartans in 2020-21.
Many cited Krzyzewski’s dominance and ability to get things his way for the Blue Devils after finding a way to host Tom Izzo and the Spartans in the Champions Classic instead of playing the game at a neutral site like Kentucky and Kansas, as per usual for the event.
