LET'S GO DUKE!

As long as we get the weakest 2 seed. Last 1 overall they gave us Michigan state who should’ve been a 1 seed in their own right

I don’t think we will. Just don’t have the competition. Going in to today Louisville was a 7 seed. Too low but the ACC is bad. We will get one of the SEC teams. If it’s us, Auburn, Florida, and Houston (though UT could sneak in but I doubt it) the two two seeds are likely UT and Alabama and they won’t put them in an SEC bracket.

St. John’s or Michigan State will be the final 2 seed.

1 - Duke, Auburn, Florida, Houston
2 - Tennessee, Alabama, Michigan St., St Johns.

We are almost sure to get either UT or Bama. Obviously would be great to get Michigan St.

I actually feel better if we get Tennessee, though I hate the way they play football on the basketball court. And they hammered us two years ago. But I think we are better and tougher and would hold them down defensively.

we are 3-2 vs ranked teams and Kansas ended up with 12 losses so that really hurts that win. SEC teams have double digit wins vs ranked teams and the record of the conferences head to head is very lopsided to the SEC.....i think whoever win that tournament should be #1 but i think they'll give it to Auburn given they have been #1 for a lot of the season. Right or wrong...just my opinion
 
Jon really made great halftime adjustments. Helps when you have talent, but still that’s a sign of a Coach. Hepburn never got going, and Edwards was 6-17 in the 2nd half.

Great tournament with not having two important players. The guys all stepped up. Proctor was big tonight with those 6 three’s, but the kid has to be better at the line. Kon is so freaking good. Missed all 5 of his 3’s but still found a way to score 18.

Most enjoyable Duke team I’ve watched in a long time.

Louisville may be a 7 seed but they were also ranked #13 which does mean something. I expect Duke to get the 1 overall but the committee does whatever they want…. Looking at you bubba

Florida is really good. The talk has been Auburn, Duke, Tennessee and Alabama. But Florida just might be the best team in the country.
 
what did they run on that last play? Once time was at 10 seconds nobody did anything at all. This isn’t a PG problem, scheyer has to get the team to run an offense
Good point. The offense is only ranked #2 by barttorvik and kenpom. SMH.

Excellent comment. I didn’t realize that once your offense is ranked highly it’s always the second best in the country even if it isn’t performing well 🤡 smh I was talking about what was going on in todays game, not what’s happened over the course of the season.
 
What an accomplishment to win this tournament after losing two key players in the opening minutes of the first game. WOW!! What a special group this is and they certainly showed they are more than the C Flagg show. Duke’s backcourt was terrific today (other than Ty at the FT line) they were locked in defensively in that second half. They would not give Hepburn any room to breath.

31-3 and 22-1 in the ACC. Jon will never have a better team than this one. The roster construction is simply awesome!

This win was icing on the cake to end ACC play. I was very happy to see Proctor have a good game. I thought he would be key and the young man stepped up. Good for him!!

I know it’s fun to speculate, but don’t really care who is in our bracket. Let’s get Cooper back and I’ll take us against any team in the country. I will say knowing the committee I would bet they are salivating over a Duke Michigan State elite 8 matchup.

That’s my thoughts too with Michigan state but I don’t think they can put a 1 and 2 seed together from the same conference so that leaves us with an SEC 2
