I get OSU, ND, Duke .... but Alabama in Football?  Is that just jealousy?  What rivalry or hatred do we have with Alabama?  I don't think we've been good enough for them to actually impact us since they've been good.

I think we've played them what, 4 times?

Grayson Allen with a punk flagrant, coach K bitching, and a duke team underperforming per usual. I'd love for michigan to kick their asses in the tourney.

Since I think we wanted to miss those 2 teams. Duke could've got a 1. UNC a 3 with us. Now both probably 2's. With MSU/Purdue being a 2, only 25% chance (Cincy or Xavier) probably of being the 2 in our region. Duke losing helps Xavier. I think Virginia & Villanova locks for 1. KU is a great spot. One up for grabs, which I think Duke would've got with win tonight & Xavier lost.

Duke has talent but something about them is missing, lots of young, albeit talented guys, but they seem very vulnerable to me.

I'd rather face Duke rather than UNC in the tourney, however when we played UNC our gaurd situation was suspect and that isn't the case anymore, Z would be able to play Berry way tougher now which would be a key match-up in that potential game.

We're light years better than we were in the first couple of months of the season, I can't wait for the tourney to start.

I’m not a big fan of Duke, but UNC is an abomination. I can’t be happy that a fraudulent University that has been systematically cheating for decades beat a bunch of jerks. Fuck them both.

Biased take here, but "team full of decent enough people that got caught cheating to aid GPA" >>>>>>>>>>>> "team full of scumbags who are undoubtedly cheating under the table to get the kids plus a morally suspect coach who is considered a saint by the media." Oh, and one of them has Grayson Allen.

 

I also think it's worth mentioning this from an NYT article...

 

" In their defense, North Carolina cited cases where Auburn and Michigan had similar misconduct and the NCAA did not act."

You think UNC isn't in on the buying players thing?  Maybe they don't get the A+ cream of the crop, but they still get thier share of top 20 players.  The UNC money cannon may be lighter than Duke's, but they still play that game.  Fuck them both.  I honestly don't know which I dislike more - UNC for blatent academic cheating over decades, Duke just because.

Let JB outcoach both assholes on the way San Antonio, anyway...
