they're peaking at the right time but they should not be a 2 seed. Too many losses.

Team A

#9 RPI, #8 Sagarin
#7 SOS
12-6 vs RPI top 50, 7-4 vs RPI top 25
13-7 vs Sag top 50, 7-4 vs Sag top 25


Team B

#5 RPI, #5 Sagarin
#18 SOS
7-4 vs RPI top 50, 2-4 vs RPI top 25
7-4 vs Sag top 50, 2-4 vs Sag top 25

One of these teams is in contention for a 1 seed, and one is in contention for a two seed. Which resume looks better?

Duke has more top 25 and top 50 RPI wins than any other team in the country. Not to mention they are 2-1 against UNC, who many people believe is a #1 seed. You could almost make the argument that Duke should be the last #1 seed.

With the refs help....Of course...........

They will win tonight because of the refs... Its just the way it is... I said last night that the ACC wants Duke to be great even though they have had an UN DUKE like season...




Duke WINS tonight,,, NO doubt,, Watch how the refs work it.... I love A great game.. But when it comes to Duke??????

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.

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.

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

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

They will give Coach K a #1 seed and place him down the road in Greensboro
