We will see shortly since you continually ignore every single metric I have stated which states the case against Duke.
1-Seed??

You guys at THR are gonna be so angry. Haha. You're already claiming shenanigans about the tourney title.
Those are the same people who claim stupid **** if a top 100 recruit goes to a different school for any number of reasons or if a player gets a stupid foul called on them. I tend to not pay a lot of mind to them.
A few years ago, having a MAC school as my alma matter, I without hesitation picked Ohio over Georgetown in a 3-14 game knowing full well Ohio had a good guard who could shoot it from anywhere, and knowing full well Ohio was BUILT for a one-and-done scenario.
After that performance this weekend, where Duke clipped you and beat Louisville, the Cheats, and ND (and Clemson is no pushover), who is healthier and playing better as we enter the tournament? Duke has already shown its tournament chops. You guys, not so much...
Both 1, ok. Both 2, whatever. But to think UNC should be ahead of Duke on the 15-year old mentality of the ACC regular season means more (which literally is hogwash with a not even close to true home and home scenario), you are smoking.
Duke was not the highest 2 seed then if they are in the East. I am surprised by that. Arizona must have been the highest 2 then I guess.
Winning 4 games in 4 days were also tough.
To be the best you have to beat the best.
Let's go Duke!
There was talk of a possible 1 seed and yet we are paired with number 1 overall? Not even the top 2 seed. Must have been the 8 losses.
We have a decent road to the Elite 8. I'm not afraid of Nova either
I think we did get jobbed a bit. Most thought we deserved a 1 and UNC a 2. And, even if we got a 2, I think we should have gotten a 2 against Gonzaga in the West.
Getting a 1 in the East with 'Nova means we weren't even the 5th best team.
Going to be some interesting possibilities - Duke-Marquette (K V Wojo); or Duke-SMU is a potentially tough matchup (esp. up against Ojeleye).

Good cuz I know they can't beat us. And nova can't either IMO we match up very well with then
Not bad, Baylor is sweet 16, and I do not trust them to be there. But I hate Marquette possibly in 2nd round. K, in his book about the 2001 National Championship, HATES coaching against former players...
Positive is we get to play Friday/Sunday so we get some rest this week. I think we should have been with the 'Zags in the West.
And, I think 'Nova is going to be very, very tough. It's just odd - even Bilas thinks that's a bad call.

We don't have much luck out west, I'm happy we are in the east. It's tough to go back to back. Maybe Nova has a bad game and gets bounced before the regional finals.
We're a 2, and we're in the east which has worked out for us before. I can live with that.
Believe me, when THR breaks down the minutiae, they'll 'prove' that Duke got the easiest bracket, once again.

That is the biggest effing joke ever! Do they ever consider that if Duke had UNC's ACC schedule, I promise Duke's record would be similar to UNC...
Read it again. Top half. You will have no problem getting to the Sweet 16 and Elite 8.
UNC does have an easy top bracket. They do get UCLA or UK.
I'm rooting for UCLA all the way there - would love to see them beat out UK and UNC.

Dipshit, your elite 8 opponent would be tough regardless. Take your gift third one-seed while we have the overall number 1 as a 2 and GTFO
I'm not sure of the approximity, but why will South Carolina get to play in their home state against Duke?
Wichita St. is the 8th team in KenPom and they got a 10 seed! Bad for them.
Ridiculous.
But, gotta like UK vs UCLA though NC has a breeze to the elite 8, imo.

I'm sorry but I don't agree with Gonzaga. Strength of schedule alone should make them a 2 max unless they go undefeated.
I hate to say this, but I think we have a very reasonable path to at least the Elite 8 and possibly the Final 4. That is if we come to play, which I expect we will.
