I guess that one will be the one that Duke fans point to as the SEE, we don't get EVERY call!
 
Dude, stop whining about calls. All you do is whine about calls.

Karl Hess ejected Nebraska's head coach.  This would be like C.B. Bucknor working the World Series.

Another 8 or 9 months before we have to hear about how the awesome, mystical leadership of Coach K is the difference between Duke and everyone else in college hoops.

I enjoyed the 3 pointer at the end there. It reminds me of an article Simmons wrote like 7 years ago about "the drive", where I think it was Michael Vick drove down and scored a TD to cut the deficit to 28 in the last ten seconds.

Who had Duke going beyond the Sweet 16? I certainly didn't.
Probably the 20% who had them in the Final 4 and 5% having them win it all

Those people picked them on name only. Anyone who watched them this year knew they weren't a contender.
 
Of course, 95% of all brackets are picked by people who don't know anything about college hoops.

Two top-10 picks on this Duke team. Pathetic.
 
Maybe I've only watched his bad games but I've never really seen it with Hood. His length is good (as an NBA 2-guard) and obviously by the percentages he has been a good shooter, but he'll need to be a great one at the next level since he doesn't seem to do much else. I could be off as I haven't watched every Duke game or anything, but I wouldn't go near him in the top 10.

:lol: Mercer with some sort of Madsen celebration dance,
 
The white guy that just did that horrific dance just beat Duke at basketball in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

What the hell happened to Parker? He gets subbed with the game on the line. Man, I know he's a Freshman, but I'm interested if the C's would take him so high.

Thankfully I have Michigan beating Duke next round ...
 
Interesting bracket you have, since they would play the winner of UMass/Tennessee next round.
