Hahaha Suck it Duke!!!
you win the ACC tournament and UNC STILL gets the #1 seed AND gets to play in Greesborough

:rofl:

The refs completely kept them in the Maryland game in the first 10 minutes :grr:

BTW_ I am no UNC fan but compared to Duke anyone is better

1. Duke lost twice to UNC in the regular season
UNC held out their best player from the ACC Tourney so he could recover from an injury.

Besides, there's not much difference between a 1 and 2 seed. To win the NCAA you eventually have to play the best team.

If I had actually watched Pitt or Oklahoma play I'd make an insightful comment about which of those teams I'd rather have to get past to make it to the Final Four. I suspect it's a toss-up.

Lastly, both teams get to play in Greensboro, which is spelled without that extra "ugh", even though Duke's favorite arena is the Meadowlands.

3. Nobody likes a smart-ass, spuds.
But of course you make some excellent points.

Doesn't matter though, LOUISVILLE'S GOING ALL THE WAY BAYBEEEEEE!

4. Both Carolina and Duke are playing their first round games
in Greensboro (I may be going to see them on Saturday).

FWIW, the past NCAA winners have all won their conference tournaments, which does not bode well for Carolina.

Oh, Yeah!!!

Duke, 2009 ACC Tournament Champions

They are fine as is as a #2 seed. We'll see what happens.

6. No not all winners have won their conference tourney...
When Maryland won the National Championship in 2001, they lost in the QUARTERFINALS...:)

8. She's just demonstrating the quality of a Duke education
She probably read that somewhere 10 years ago and didn't bother checking to see if it's still true.

She's also ignoring the fact that several past NCAA Champions didn't have conference tournaments, which are a relatively recent trend. The ACC has always had one but they didn't become popular nationwide until the 1980s and the rise of cable sports.
