I feel like they had to reach for the 80s and 90s. Not too hard to put one together for Duke and the 2000s

Did people really hate most of these guys? I didn't have a problem with 90% of them.

No way Danny Ferry is a #3 seed for this tournament.

People loved Ferry - this was before Duke became Duke and the arch-villain by always going to Final Fours.

Greg Paulus and Hurley are far more despised. Danny Ferry had that Larry Bird "every white basketball fan loves him by default" cache in the 80's.

Maybe it's because I'm biased, but I don't understand how people can hate Craft.

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.

Reddick deserves a #1 seed IMO.

Laettner
Wojo
Rivers (this is a stupid match-up)
Redick

Ewing
Doesn't mater, will easily lose to Ewing
Coleman
Miller
This whole bracket is full of reaches

Rose
Camby (who cares either way about Montross?
Are either Cleaves or Curley hated by anyone but rivals?
Iverson

Hansbrough
Devendorf
Morrison (People hate Walton?)
Noah (People hate Craft?)

Unsurprisingly, the list is dominated by white players because suburban white basketball fans love to hate white players

Laettner
Redick

Ewing
A Boring Reach

Rose
Iverson

Devendorf
Noah

Redick (younger people on the Internet)
Ewing
Iverson
Noah

Noah beats Redick. That's my guess for how it goes but I hate some of these match-ups. Morrison-Noah in Round 2? The entire 80s bracket is a reach. Half of the 90s guys are really hated by anyone.

im obviously biased, but does fricking anyone hate kirk hinrich? what the hell would you hate him for? he would possibly win a kansas bracket of most liked players ever

i dont really like craft at all though so maybe it's like that for other fans. the reason i dont like craft is because i think he sucks at offense and it's frustrating that he's so good at defense and so not good at offense.

for me it's hansbrough vs. redick in the finals.
