Dook is not a 5 seed. Lunardo says they move up a seed line after UL win😂.

[Rideordiewildcat]

Tonight Lunardoturd said Dook moves up a seed line for beating UL. Even Seth Green argued with him and said they only have 2 Quad 1 wins. A F-ing seed line for beating #308 a Quad 4 team at home. They have 4 wins man! You can't make this shit up. He also says a 4 is possible.

Dook has 2 Quad 1 wins and hasn't gotten 1 since Dec 6 2022. (25 Xavier, 42 Iowa both neutral) They have 8 losses and are 6th in the ACC the 7th ranked conference. They lost to Clemson, a team with 3 Quad 4 losses and a Quad 3 loss too.

Dook has been blown out a lot. Half of their losses are dd:
Purdue 19
Wake 11
NCST 24
*Clemson 8 ( Not a blowout but a bad loss)
Miami 22

They have no big wins this year or in conference. Their best win is Xavier, good but not great. Not on the road vs top 10 like some. How can anyone look at their resume and get 5-6 seed? Please tell me. Maybe my hate clouds my judgement.

MissSt has a better resume in my eyes with no losses outside of Quads 1 and 2 and 3 Quad 1 wins. #14 Marquete, 19 ARK road and 21 TCU vs Dooks 25 Xavier and 42 Iowa.

Goodman and other dude were crying last night that Dook isn't being talked about enough. WHAT!? Seriously, what am I missing. I would say Dook is a 8-9 seed and MissSt an 8. Instead they have MissSt last 4 out and Dook a 5.😲

I'm not even discussing our seed. I mean we have twice as many Quad 1 wins and better wins but whatever. Our bad loss USCjr beat Clemson who beat Dook. But I digress.😜

So, do we move up a seed line for beating Louisville at home?!

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

So, do we move up a seed line for beating Louisville at home?!

Probably drop a line. It's crazy we have double the amount of Quad 1 wins of Dook and the cheats combined they are being looked at as a 5-6 seed and supposedly still plenty of hope for the cheats to make it. Neither has a Quad 1 win this year. Let that sink in.
Yet we are a 10 after @MissSt and TN.

Goodman said is MissSt a Quad 1 win? LMFAO I mean yeah by only 31 spots. He then went on to say TN is a fraud and diminished any of our wins. Yet he said Dook isn't be talked about enough on Field of 68 podcast.🤮 He pretty much said you have to give Dook the win @UVA and another one where there was a bad call. Dam I didn't know we got to do ifs and buts and bad calls.🙄

Lunardi is smoking crack

 

[Pickle_Rick]

U6 is bad enough that a win over them should have no effect what so ever, and a loss to them deserves a line drop. That simple.

 

[Gromcat]

He’s trying to create a narrative so the selection committee gives Duke the best seed possible. It’s what espn does.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

He’s trying to create a narrative so the selection committee gives Duke the best seed possible. It’s what espn does.

While this is definitely true, it’s also very important and urgent to have Duke and UNC in the best slot possible when they play final game of season on ESPN. Huge game for the network, and they have to pump it as much as possible. Just following the company line.

 

[The_Answer1313]

FWIW The Backet Matrix currently has Duke as the last 7 seed.

So Lunardi can say whatever he wants but he will once again be wrong on seeding.

 

[The_Answer1313]

You know something tho, it's not just Lunardi. It's not just Duke.

Say you are a music reviewer. You listen to an album and you rate that album right after that fact. Now say you listen to the album but before you rate the album, you log on and read other reviews of said album. Just the mere reading of reviews will bias your ranking of the album.

Studies have shown this. If you listen to a song and the first few reviews are positive, that will effect other peoples feeling on the song. Conversely if the reviews start out as negative, same thing.

Now say you are a committee member. Your job is to rank the teams in order from best to worst. Lets say you find a website that has over 100 bracket people that are seeding teams accordingly.

That has to play a role in your decision making. You might not think it does, but it does. In other words, even if people aren't trying to push an agenda intentionally, it just is going to happen.

 

[Big Cat fan]

If the seed line was today it would be a 6-7 seed. No way it's a 5 seed. I think even if they won out they could only be a 4 seed

 

[catzfanjim]

I’m sure he also thinks North Carolina and Duke should play all the games in Greensboro.

 

[Mike_Edwards]

He’s trying to create a narrative so the selection committee gives Duke the best seed possible. It’s what espn does.

Duke and Kentucky are on the opposite side of that narrative unfortunately.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Well.........that's another thing too.

What top seeds are playing in Greensboro this season. Because that will dictate things as well. As a 5 seed, that's not an ideal seed as far as that goes. 4s and 5s tend to get shipped west for their first two games cause that's normally what's left (tho I guess this season you got the Zags, Arizona, UCLA that could go there).

 

[kyjeff1]

Duke is definitely getting better, but their resume is their resume and it shows they haven't really done much of anything.

In my mind, just simply playing Louisville, win or lose, should drop you in the net ratings. Why not, if you play a sub 300 team in November, it kills your sos, so why did that improve duke's net rating?

This is just Joe stretching the numbers way too far.

 

[Creed Bratton]

If Duke gets to play in Cameron Indoor they can be tough but outside of that place most anyone can beat them.

 

[TucsonCat]

FWIW The Backet Matrix currently has Duke as the last 7 seed.

So Lunardi can say whatever he wants but he will once again be wrong on seeding.

Last bracketology, Lunardi had them as 9. So moving up 1 seed line to 8 seems fine.

 

[Patriot202]

Duke will win a few more games then they will overate Duke badly getting them in the top 25 and higher seed etc then UNCheats will beat Duke in chapel hill for the final game of the regular season and UNC will get in the ncaa tourney with a big quality win and winning a game or two in acc tourney 🤣😂 omg just watch.

 

[ukjenning44]

Makes me realize how much Alabama has improved this season. Back in November it took Bama 4 OT’s to beat UNCHEATS. Bama would absolutely destroy them now. That coach at Bama is getting better all the time as his team.

Lick lick, suck suck. Someone clearly loves him some Oates...

 

[Creed Bratton]

I don't really care where they are seeded. They only have the record they do because they have played such a weak schedule. I am sure a Duke fan will show up to tell me how their SOS is great because they have scheduled decent mid majors. The fact is they are 14-0 at home and 6-8 on the road or neutral sites. When you can't beat anyone good away from Cameron Indoor you are not a threat to anyone in the tournament. Unless something changes they won't be any better next year because they will probably lose Filipowski, Whitehead, Mitchell and Proctor along with Johns and Young if the don't have a Covid year left. Of the returnees they will have Roach and Lively who is severely overrated.

They need to go ahead and start billing it as a play in game...

 

[katwest]

This is proof of the bias, Duke could have an identical record to us and he and the committee would still try to justify them getting in. Lunardi is not the end all of selecting the teams for the tournament, but he thinks he is.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Let Duke be in the 4/5 matchup, they’ll lose in rd 2 if not rd 1 to a decent 12 seed w/ some talent that underachieved. Who cares?

 

[ganner918]

It is hilarious how Lunardi lives in OP's head rent free. I hope you're a kid, would better explain the obsession and the juvenile nicknames. Lunardi is a hack who lucked into an easy gig and is overpromoted by ESPN. It's on you that you let him occupy so much space in your mind.

 

[blackcat714]

Lunardi is smoking crack

He is also kissing crack Dukes

 

[kyjeff1]

Wow man, wasn't it you that was chastising others for personal attacks and talking about how thy shall be nice to thy neighbors on here?
Seems a bit harsh for a simple compliment of Nate Oats.

 

[DanTheDukeFan1982]

Duke is getting a lot better, they are finally healthy. Should have gotten the W at UVA but got absolutely hosed, that W would probably have Duke on the 4 line.

There are no dominant teams this year, feel like seeding matters very little but matchups will be more important. I’m also absolutely amazed that the OP posted this at 3AM with what looks like hours worth of research, guess Duke and Lunardi keep him up late at night?

 

[2Dope15]

Why even listen to these idiots? The only way I find out this stuff is reading the threads. Ratface must be yelling at them and telling them they better start talking about Duke more.

This kind of bs is why I don't put a lot of stock in the " kansas, UNC, duke Always get a 1-3 seed for 12 straight years " conversations.
Sure Kansas has been consistent lately, but they have Always gotten the same treatment. The big 12 was overrated for years.
Duke always ends up a 4 seed or better. Knowing they don't deserve it. Then people look back in 10 years and talk about how great the program has been in that span.

 

[HagginHall1999]

I don't quite understand how we are still somewhat considered a bubble team and Duke is not. I guess what I'm saying is how are we projected as a 10/11 and Duke a potential 5? That makes zero sense. Just looking at it logically, I don't see how they can explain that.

Because they aren't a projected 5 seed. Reading the title of this post that's what I was thinking as well. But Lunardi has them a 8 seed which is pretty much in line with what everyone on the Bracket Matrix project has them as well.

And given that, if we are a 10/11 seed and they are say a 8/9 seed, there's really not a whole lot separating the two teams.

This is just Joe stretching the numbers way too far.

FYI, Duke DID drop in the NET after last night's epic win. From 26 to 29.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

You all remember in 2017 where duke got hot and won the ACC tournament, the media was slobbering all over them and kept pushing for them to get a 1 seed even though they did not deserve it all, this year will be the same, ESPN will be pushing for them to get a 4 or 5 even though they have the resume of a 7 seed

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

And I guarantee if UNC beats ND, they will start pushing for them to be the in the tournament field

Lots of basketball games to be played but as currently stands it's more likely they fall to an 8 than rise to a 4 or even 5.
