March 16, 201016 yr (Time for me to embrace my inner Blue Devil like a heel wrestler in the WWE) You guys are right. We should be the 2 seed in the East Region and West Virginia should be the 1 seed in the South but you know what?(blue devil horns beginning to sprout out of head) We are the Duke Blue Devils. That's right. That is the only explanation you need. What we want we get whether we deserve it or not. You mean after all these years you guys hadn't figured that out? We are the NCAA. Ask Corey Maggette. We never do anything wrong and if it looks like we might get caught doing something wrong we will find a way to make the NCAA clear our good name. Ask Myron Piggie.(horns growing) Teams all over the country envy us. We do very little year in and year out but we are always treated as royalty. All we need to do is win our conference tourney and we are a 1 seed. It is in our contract with CBS and the NCAA. We can lose 10 games and still get a 3 seed because despite public opinion we are the best ran college basketball program and the NCAA will always recognize and reward us for that.(horns at full length) We are the Duke Blue Devils. We have the best coach, the smartest students, the best home court advantage, the best referees and the best under the table contract with CBS and the NCAA. I really thought you guys knew all of this already. I know this might be a little hard for some of you to take, but if Duke and their fans are the bad guys I will no longer defend Duke and their evil ways. I will embrace it. I always root for the bad guys anyways. :ohbrother:

In all honesty I was comparing Duke being the notch above (whatever that really means) Syracuse in the #1 Seed decisions. It just isn't there by logical standards. (which is why I chose to dig up the data because Rock Pride asked a legit question which was to debate the facts and make a case) Good luck in the tourney PP. :thumb: (Afterall, we are Rebels at heart! :clap:)

I enjoyed getting it off my chest. I thought you presented good stats. I think the argument about the 1 seeds is a neverending one. Any stat or fact I bring up to defend Duke is perceived as bias so I give up. The UK fans are right. I just wonder if everyone who says Duke has an easy road to the Final Four actually has Duke going to the Final Four on their brackets. Good luck to you and your Cats as well. I do hope for a Duke/UK match up in the Final Four but I truly don't like our chances to make it there this year. Next year is a different story......... Take care, Hatz.

There are no "easy" roads to the Final Four. But, when you look at the other three brackets, there's also no denying that Duke has the best draw. I don't believe there's any conspiracy though. That's just the way it happened this year. Duke isn't the first, nor the only, team to get a perceived good draw from the committee. They're still going to have to beat some good teams to win that region. If the seeds hold, which path would you prefer... UNLV, Maryland, Ohio State Gonzaga, Vanderbilt, Kansas State Texas, Wisconsin, West Virginia California, Purdue, Villanova ?:confused:
