re: Duke a 2 seed?

Massey Composite has them at #14 as of the end of yesterday, and with a win tonight, they'll probably be #10. A 2-seed means that the committee esteems them 2 spots higher than Massey, so I don't think that's crazy or anything.
BTW I think that bitching about your seed in a 68-team tournament is ubergay. It's just a number next to your school's name for two weeks. It doesn't give you extra points. UK fans are way more interested in Duke than they should be.

quote:#43 in Massey. If the committee comes even close to this opinion, Sparty is in.
What has Michigan State done to get in?

You could almost make the argument that Duke should be the last #1 seed.

To be honest.. They should NOT have won last night... The refs were giving them everything..................

I thought for sure they were locked into a 3 or 4. But the case can be made. If they win tonight, that would be 13 wins against the RPI top 50. More than anyone else. They're playing better at the right time, I mean they've got a better argument than UNC I feel. Hell UNC doesn't have a win worth a shite outside the Dean Dome.

BracketMatrix has them as the 3rd 2 seed.
Pretty much everyone says 2/3 seed on it.
ACC Championship probably seels a 2

wins vs unc(2X), louisville, fla state, florida, at vriginia and at notre dame in the toughest conference in cbb.
If they win the ACC tourney they will be a 2 and deservedly so. 3-4 without K and 23-4 with him will be a factor for the committee

They have a better argument than the team that won the best conference in basketball?

UNC just lost the chance at the ACC title last night, sooo?
Posted on 3/11/17 at 7:32 pm to More beer please
UNC is 25-7, Duke is 26-8

Tournament title. Not regular season.

The conference schedules are terribly unbalanced, and Carolina had one of the easiest ones.

I wish Duke would be a #3 seed.
They have 35 years of history of not being able to win a Natty without being a #1 or #2 seed.
Even #2 is pretty bad - they have a terrible history at #2. Under Coach K, Duke has won 1 National Championship as a #2 seed.
But even better would be a #3...Duke has never won the National Championship as a #3 seed.
Duke has never won a National Championship without being a #1 or #2 seed.
Under Coach K...#3 seed 6 times.
Second Round

And if Duke is below #3 seeding they usually bomb out right away...their lowest seed ever under Coach K in 35 years is:
#8 - lost in the First Round
#6 - lost int he First Round
#5 - Sweet Sixteen
#4 - Sweet Sixteen
I'd love Duke to be a #3 - they almost always lose in the second-round.

If they win the acc tournament with their record, they will deserve a #2 seed.

Didn't realize UNC cut the Nets down tonight. Also, they didn't win a road game worth a shite the entire season in the ACC. The unbalanced schedule sucks in the conference and UNC had a very easy schedule

I don't see how UNC is supposedly a lock for a one seed and Duke is a two seed at best. Duke's resume is stronger all the way across the board IMO.

Agreed. Ive wondered that all year.
Posted on 3/11/17 at 11:48 pm to beaverfever
Duke sucks, they can't play physical bball, if the refs weren't there to bail them of a 100 ticky tacky fouls a game they'd never win. Baylor, ks, zags, az, or, all have dominate biggies, duke has a bunch of limp worsted shooters, I hope the get thrown in the West as a 2 seed and get their are kicked.
Posted on 3/11/17 at 11:48 pm to WildcatMike
They're a "one and done" team this year
Posted on 3/12/17 at 12:06 am to tzimme4
I wonder what that says about Louisville.
