Need Wisconsin to lose here. Arizona should in no way receive a 1 seed over Duke, but Wisconsin has a semblance of a case.

They will not pass Duke fe the other #1. Though they should....

Plus. Zona won their conference tourney... And should be a #1 over Duke...


BUT in this situation the committee has a mandatory obligation from the networks to leave Duke as A #1 seed. Its all about ratings and what the NCAA wants....

Not Duke... I don't care about all those #'s...


BUT they will ALWAYS get the benefit of the doubt cause they are FRICKING Duke........ The Duke bias is pathetic when it comes to the NCAA and the networks....

According to the numbers I posted, it should be Duke #2, Wisconsin #3, Nova #4, Virginia #5, and Arizona a distant #6.

Maybe so, but IMO there is something to be said for winning your conference and your conference tourney. Duke did neither.

That doesn't matter much when you beat 16% of the RPI top 25 on the road.

Oh, the team that lost to UNLV, ASU, and Oregon State. I'm sure they would hammer Duke.

Like I have said to you before... #'s are NOT all that matter here... Its tradition and geography and the NCAA... The only reason that Duke gets a #1 seed over a big ten regular season and big ten tourney champ Wisky is tradition and network ratings....

The way Zona is playing now? Absolutely!! Didn't dook get blown out at home by Miami and get whooped by NCst? Also barely escaped a couple of powerhouses in VT and FSU. See, we can all play your little game too....you been a Duke fan since when? 92 or 93?

Yes, the way Arizona is playing against standouts like UCLA, Cal, Colorado, Oregon State, USC. Oh, I forgot Utah and Oregon, the only two other teams from their conference that will make the tournament. Let's just forget about the fact that Duke is 12-1 in it;s current configuration.

I love the Big 10 tournament. When it ends, it's usually selection time.
