March 12, 200719 yr I think Pitt is a weak #3. Duke will win their first 2. But wont get by UCLA. I think Duke will make it to the sweet 16 as well, but I'm not sure UCLA is the team they'll be playing.
March 12, 200719 yr Dick Vitale says this is the toughest bracket... I disagree with him.... East definitely looks tops to me.
March 12, 200719 yr Duke with a 6 is a joke. Their record...RPI...and ranking all say it is just...last 10? maybe not...but they were probably the last 6.
March 12, 200719 yr Their record...RPI...and ranking all say it is just...last 10? maybe not...but they were probably the last 6. Their resume was not much better than UK's they were a 7-9 range team. They are in a perfect set up right now.
March 12, 200719 yr ^ Well...just by watching UK play...and how they beat some undermanned teams...I am sure the "human element' made it clear that Duke's season was more succesful then UK's..add to that competing in a better conference, and losing to a hot NC State team that almost won the ACC, w/o Henderson, I am sure helped...either way..I don't care...if they both beat who's in front of them...they'll meet soon enough.
March 12, 200719 yr Why even bother to call this the WEST bracket. First round games in Chicago, Columbus, and Buffalo. I think the committee could use a geography class.

March 12, 200719 yr if they both beat who's in front of them...they'll meet soon enough. Well I know in my bracket I made, I have UK and Duke meeting up in the elite 8. Both of these two teams are not expected to do much this year, however both teams are very capable of beating anyone or losing to anyone on any given day. However I think both teams will makes suprising runs in this west region, and we will have another exciting UK vs. Duke matchup in the elite 8...
March 12, 200719 yr Seeds 4-7 are all at least one seed line too high. Lots of big names but not a lot of names on the back of the uniform match up with the names on the front. The top 3 seeds are the only real threats to win it, so I don't think it's that brutal. If you want brutal look at the East...
