Zion Williamson: Coach K Said He 'Don't Coach Losers' During Rally vs. Louisville

No. 2 Duke was down 23 points with over nine minutes remaining in its NCAA men's basketball matchup at No. 16 Louisville on Tuesday.

However, the Blue Devils roared back with a 35-10 run to defeat the Cardinals 71-69.

Zion Williamson led Duke with 27 points and 12 rebounds. After the game, he revealed a motivational line from Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski in his interview on ESPN:

Duke hasn't been a losing team since the 1982-83 season, which was Krzyzewski's third year at the university. The Blue Devils have been a winning team with him on the sidelines ever since minus the 1994-95 season, when the coach missed 19 games to take care of his health.

A five-time national champion, Krzyzewski looks on pace to lead the Blue Devils to a sixth title during his tenure. Duke still hasn't lost a road game, and it has now beaten seven teams in the Top 16.

The road doesn't get much easier until the ACC tournament, though.

Duke still has two games with North Carolina before a rematch with Syracuse, who beat the Blue Devils at Cameron Indoor Stadium, at the Carrier Dome in Central New York.

Still, Duke is the clear favorite to win the title. Per Action Network, they have 7-4 odds to win it all, well above second-ranked Gonzaga at 7-1.
