    There is no elite team this year

    If 2012 UK is your standard for elite, then theres only an elite team once every 5 years or so. That seems like an unnecessarily high threshold, but if that's what you want to go with, then so be it. I think this duke team is elite in that it's very deserving of a 1 seed, and a strong bet to...

    The (actual) easiest roads ever to the Final Four

    I understand your logic, i just don't think there is any way to objectively agree on how to rank all 68 teams in the tournament, or that the vast majority of complaints about tough brackets are anything more than paranoia or built-in excuses. Funnily enough, one of the very, very few times I...

    The (actual) easiest roads ever to the Final Four

    That's a strange take, but okay. I think most people would believe that a team deserving of the national championship should be able to beat any of teams 13-16. that's what i personally believe. I thought duke deserved its seed last year, but didn't deserve a sweet 16 because it couldn't beat...

    The (actual) easiest roads ever to the Final Four

    what do you mean by not a real threat? not a real threat to win the title? I would agree. Less of a threat to advance in the tournament than your average 4 seed? then of course i would disagree.

    The (actual) easiest roads ever to the Final Four

    so, you are saying that purdue deserved to be a 4 seed, but because the tournament committee had them as the 3rd or 4th best 4 seed, rather than the 1st or second best, that means that the committee gave duke a huge gift? am i interpreting that correctly?

    The (actual) easiest roads ever to the Final Four

    and again, they were a 4 seed, top 15 on kenpom, WHO MADE IT TO THE SWEET 16. If they were as week as you claim, they would not have made it past texas a&m, or even their 13 seed. I really don't take what a bunch of irrational UK fans think as an objective analysis of anything. I also remember...

    The (actual) easiest roads ever to the Final Four

    that's a poor attempt at dodging a legit question. should they have been a 7 seed? a 10? If they were so clearly a sacrificial lamb, then they must have been given a much higher seed, right? if you want to trade brackets with duke, then good for you. but if you want to make a claim that duke...

    The (actual) easiest roads ever to the Final Four

    duke fan here. that purdue team had 5 losses entering the tournament, and would have been at worst a 3 seed had hummel not been injured. yes, they were without hummel, but it's not like they were a 2 or 3 seed, they were the 4th seed. they also beat their 13 and 5 seed to make it to the sweet...

    Late Offered DeLaurier Commits to Duke

    there hasn't been a hint of doubt expressed by any duke insider about giles in several months. I don't know if Duke is going to get him, but I don't think the staff is overly worried about losing him. Agree on Jeter. Apparently he wants to be OAD so we'll have to see what happens there. I...

    Late Offered DeLaurier Commits to Duke

    Duke fan here. The only guy who I don't understand the staff going after is Bolden. Traditional centers like him are becoming less important in the modern game, and have rarely played a big role under K. In recent years, okafor was an offensive force, and plumlee took 4 years to develop...
