If you had Duke losing in the sweet 16: is this good for you?

I don't think anybody in my bracket pool picked this upset, and pretty much everyone had Duke at least in the sweet 16. I've got them losing to Michigan and I have Michigan going to the FF.

I realize I'm rationalizing here, but I think this helped me

Had them losing to Florida in the National Championship. When will I learn to stop trusting Duke.

I had michigan beating them in the sweet 16 so it only hurts those that had them going to the elite 8 or farther

Most people had them at least in the Sweet 16, so everyone that picked them to get to the Elite 8 is screwed.

It's okay, I had OU in the Elite 8 to make up for me correctly predicting an early Duke exit.

This. As I said in the other thread I didn't understand the love for Duke, they were probably the most overrated team all year. Everything they do wrong is a total recipe for an early exit.

I felt the same way. 98th in AdjD on Ken Pom. You aren't winning shite with #'s that bad and Ken Pom has Tennessee in like the top 15.

This Duke was soft, and the ACC was a crap as I've ever seen it. I just don't know how people liked them for the Final Four.

To me, Tennessee is the most underrated team coming into the tournament. Top 30, if I'm not mistaken, on both KenPom categories. Nowni know that's not the end all be all, but it's still impressive.
