When Was the Last Time Duke Made the Final Four?
By Joe Summers
Duke is as storied a program as you'll find in the history of college basketball. This is their 17th Final Four, tied for third-most all-time, and 13th under Coach Mike Krzyzewkski.
With the legendary Coach K retiring after the NCAA Tournament, the Blue Devils have an opportunity to send their leader off with a National Championship, a rarity in sports.
Even though Duke has been incredibly successful over the last 40 years, it's been a while since they cut down the nets and made the Final Four.
When Was the Blue Devils’ Last Final Four
Duke last made the Final Four in 2015 en route to a National Championship. Before that, they made the Final Four and again won the NCAA Tournament in 2010.
All in all, the Blue Devils are 11-5 in their previous 16 Final Four trips. They've won seven of their last eight Final Four games and find themselves as the favorites to win it all.
Duke's Odds to Win National Championship
WynnBET Sportsbook has Duke as the favorite at +160 to win the NCAA Tournament. They'll take on the winner of North Carolina vs Saint Peter's in the Final Four, and what an incredible game it would be if they do take on their rival in the Tar Heels.
KenPom has them as the second-highest rating team remaining, behind only Kansas, with the best offense in the country and 45th-ranked defense.
They've covered the spread in each of their first three NCAA Tournament games and have won 13 of their last 15 matchups overall. But they tend to get even better in the Final Four, having covered six of their last seven dating back 20 years.
