He'll be labeled a whiner on here but he's telling it like it is.

Bilas is pretty fair when it comes to Duke, borders on overly critical at times IMO. He might be a little biased toward the ACC but it's also typically stacked

im not watching, but what is he complaining about? 2 seed for them seems totally fair. congrats on beating 1 tournament team in your conference tourney, i guess

He was just ribbing Bilas for the 1 seed talk. All in good fun.

John is letting his sub 80 IQ show again. Bilas is always overly judgemental of Duke. But hey, he thinks Duke has a good team finally, so obviously he's being biased.

Still makes my skin crawl though. And Bilas came back at him and said he takes up for him more than Duke and gets more heat for that.

And it's true, Bilas rationalizes for that guy more than he blows Duke without question.

He's complaining about how utterly pointless the conference tournaments are for the major conferences, and he's right.

That's because he is. He pretends to be some guardian angle of college basketball, yet he is one of the slimiest, POS coaches out there.

No, he didn't complain about getting a 2 seed.

That's fine but we're talking about this interview. People will say he's whining(this thread proves me right) but he's 100% spot on, no matter how much people hate him.

Bilas does everything in his power to look objective about Duke so he always takes up for their opponent and lavishes praise on UNC every year. It's the exact opposite of what all the UNC guys do.

Look at what he said about Frank Jackson while blood was pouring out of his mouth on Friday.

I have never understood the Cal being slimey talk. He comes across as a very straight shooter that doesn't try to play some fake arse nice guy personna

Coach K is the ultimate politician slimeball. The media hs protected him though, and wrote a different narrative

Conference tournaments only matter to bubble teams and teams trying to get the automatic bid. Selection committee only changes their bracket for the bubble teams and the automatic bids. Cal is right that it doesn't matter because the selection committee isn't gonna update their whole bracket for the teams that are safely in.

They just go about it differently. I wouldn't trust either one.
