April 3, 201412 yr UK, Duke and arguably UL. Hard to leave Florida off there....Currently in the middle of a streak of 4 straight Elite Eights. Two titles in the past decade, possibly a 3rd this year.
April 3, 201412 yr Say Parker goes to the draft this year, Duke would have Jones/Cook/Sulaimon/Jefferson/Okafor starting?
April 3, 201412 yr Author Hard to leave Florida off there....Currently in the middle of a streak of 4 straight Elite Eights. Two titles in the past decade, possibly a 3rd this year. Very true. I was spitballing and trying to think of most recent success combined with success from the past decade or so as well. Florida looks like a better choice than UL.
April 3, 201412 yr Author Say Parker goes to the draft next year, Duke would have Jones/Cook/Sulaimon/Jefferson/Okafor starting? No telling. I'd be scared to predict it. I'm not sure Cook or Jefferson would be starting.
April 3, 201412 yr Why do you say that? I meant it in terms of talent, expectations and potential success. That team had 8 players drafted from it, was number one the entire season in the polls and went 34-2 winning the regular season and tournament titles in the ACC and the National Championship. They were incredibly talented and successful. Maybe I should have said "could" instead of "would". Just can't see that team being anywhere near as good as the 92 team. You never know with freshmen how they are going to play and that 92 Duke team had absolute stars on it. Everyone thinks Jabari Parker is great, but he was no where near the two way player Grant Hill was while he was at Duke IMO.
April 3, 201412 yr A 2 seed Syracuse lost to Richmond a long time ago. Has Boeheim lost to a 14 and 15 seed? I honestly don't know so I am asking.
April 3, 201412 yr Has Boeheim lost to a 14 and 15 seed? I honestly don't know so I am asking. Lost to Richmond in '90 I think it was. Maybe '91. The Spiders were a 15 seed. First 2 seed to lose I think.

However, if Jabari comes back I do think talent wise Duke could give that team a run for its money.
April 3, 201412 yr Lost to Richmond in '90 I think it was. Maybe '91. The Spiders were a 15 seed. First 2 seed to lose I think. Yeah I know that, just didn't know if he lost to a 14 seed as well. I could've sworn I heard Coach K was the first coach to lose to a 14 and 15 seed, but I could be wrong.
April 3, 201412 yr Say Parker goes to the draft this year, Duke would have Jones/Cook/Sulaimon/Jefferson/Okafor starting? Maybe add Justise Winslow at SF.

I remember when Syracuse was a four-seed and got beat by Vermont; I can't recall them dropping a first round game as a three seed.
April 3, 201412 yr I remember when Syracuse was a four-seed and got beat by Vermont; I can't recall them dropping a first round game as a three seed. That's where I am it with this too.
April 3, 201412 yr Author Maybe add Justise Winslow at SF. Grayson Allen could prove himself worthy and Matt Jones is still there also.
April 3, 201412 yr Very true about the two way player assessment. However, if Jabari comes back I do think talent wise Duke could give that team a run for its money. We will have to agree to disagree on this, but I will say they will be extremely talented. Do you all expect Parker to return?
