Marshall Henderson gets his own bracket when they do one for the 2010's....

Marshall Henderson has to make a NCAA tournament in order to receive his due tithing of hate.


Greg Paulus at the #8 seed in the Duke region is an egregious mistake by the selection committee. Paulus is the quintessential untalented annoying Duke player. Teams wouldn't even guard him because he was such a shitty shooter. He flopped around worse than Manu Ginobili, Pepe and Ronaldo combined. To top it off, Paulus just had the punchable face of a typical Duke player.

Austin Rivers should be replaced by The Plumlee Brothers. Aside from one shot against Carolina, he never did much to elicit proper Duke hate.

I never understood why so much Duke hate? I like seeing a team with goofey looking white kids win. More so I like coach K. He maybe the GOAT.

Never underestimate UK fans and Laettner hate if this is a fan voted bracket.

I've always liked Duke.

I've always hated Notre Dame

so i imagine the hate is similar...only Duke actually wins more consistently than ND has

Almost every decent team not coached by Jim Calhoun or John Calipari has done well in college basketball with goofy white kids. Goofy white kids define college basketball. Duke's goofy white kids just get overexposed because they're on TV twice a week for five months.

I don't think people hate Noah as much as they think Adam Morrison is a bitch for crying like a baby at the end of the UCLA game.

Edit: I don't hate Morrison but I think it was pathetic and a lot of people thought that was hysterical.

Goofy white Duke kids who win championships, as apposed to smooth black LSU kids who don't win championships.

You choose?

Goofy white kids have won championships at other schools too. Tyler Hansbrough ring a bell?

It's not like Sheldon Williams, Jay Williams, Grant Hill etc. were just token black players for successful Duke teams.

Very much so. I'm not a UK but I remember being pissed after watching what he did in that game.

I was really young during his time, but I've always assumed it was a well-known consensus that Laettner was the most-hated player of all time. But maybe that's due to the venom spewed by UK fans.

Reddick deserves a #1 seed IMO.

I hated Redick more than Laettner.

At least Laettner was good. Redick was a one-trick pony who was bitch-slapped by Garrett Temple.
