and again, they were a 4 seed, top 15 on kenpom, WHO MADE IT TO THE SWEET 16.I’m not going back and redrawing the 2010 bracket. I would have seeded them lower, but they were seeded exactly where I expected them to be. I’m sure they were exactly where you Duke fans expected as well.
If you want to dig through the archives and read the discussion about this from 8 years ago, be my guest.
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 duke fans being worried about purdue as a wounded beast. they were no longer a title contender, but still had 2 upperclassman stars in moore and johnson. but, just as all national champions do, duke won by proving it on the court. they beat purdue, beat baylor, beat wvu (which uk would have also done if they really deserved it) and beat butler.
