Did duke win?

[michael895]

I don’t see how they are still in first four out. He said they had to win 3/4 final counting ACC tourney. They have since went 0-2 and have unc left. Then the ACC.

That would likely require them beating UNC 2 straight times and then beating FSU. If they do that, I think they deserve a bid, anything less, then they shouldn't be in.

If I had money I would schedule a post season tournament in Texas with Duke, Kentucky, and other blue bloods that have flopped this season. Since Texas is crazy enough to not require masks, fill a stadium and it could get more coverage than the NCAA this year.

“Masks” do not work as expected. A mask creator admitted they are not effective for this application. We can go on and on about masks but in reality, Texans are not “crazy” to uncouple their lives from paper that does not work

You are mistaken. Masks work. Lowest cold and flu season since they have been keeping records. Stop hating science and stop hating truth. Please.
COVID is real, Trump lost fair and square, Hillary doesn’t eat babies and masks work.

Good Lord. I can’t with you people.

Noway should Dook be in the first four out. Forget that they are 11-10, they only have 1 freaking Quad 1 win. That's 2 less than us. In what year would 1 quality win be enough of a resume to make it? They also have 2 Quad 3 losses. They lost to 7-16 159th Miami, 9-14 88th ND, and 10-10 90th Pitt. Their best 5 wins are:

21 Virginia
36 Clemson
38 Ga Tech
51 Cuse
66 NC ST

After that, it plummets into the 1, 2 and 300s. Even in a COVID year that isn't an NCAAT resume. If they got in on this crap there would be a lot of teams that miss it that would have a case to tell the NCAA to go F themselves. Dook sucks and like us they have no business in Tourney talk. Even if they beat UNC who is 14-9 and 45th, not exactly a juggernaut win, they do not belong anywhere close to the NCAAT. We and they both have to win our conference to make it. At least it should be that way looking at the resumes.

I'm sure the NCAA wants as many big names in it as possible after all the money they lost last year, but you can't put lipstick on that pig and that's what Dook is.

I think you are forgetting that they are competing with other very flawed teams for the spot like Saint Louis, Syracuse, Ole Miss. I don't think they deserve to be in currently, but when you have a lot of times very flawed or equal resumes, they are going to give the edge to a team like Duke or any other big-name team, that's just the way it is.

There will be teams left out with much stronger reumes than Dook. There is every year and Dook's resume is crap. 1 Quad 1 win is all you have to look at. I mean maybe they don't make it and the point is moot, but there is nothing in their resume that makes a case for even being considered for the NCAAT at 1 game above .500. I could see making a case for them in the NIT even if they lose Sat. but that's about it.

Who's saying he does?

He uses the same dynamics as the committee and his models get enough air time to influence the committee, who is watching everytime that hedgehog pops up on tv.

Curious, what teams that are left out of the first 4 out have much stronger resumes than Duke? Again, I agree with them not being deserving as of now, but arguing between a resume between Duke and Syracuse or Memphis is just splitting hairs at that point.

I'm not even looking at certain teams but every year there are teams left out that most of the so-called experts argue should be in the field. As far as Dook's resume of 1 Quad 1 win and 2 Quad 3 losses and an 11-10 record there are probably about 20 teams that could argue a better resume. 1 Quad win isn't exactly hard to beat. Hell, we have 3. Ole Miss has 3.

I don't care enough to look, but like I said every year there are multiple teams left out with good records and decent resumes so I doubt anything is different this year. So Dook with their 1 quad 1 win and 2-3 bad losses isn't much to overcome when you are talking NCAAT resume. I mean they don't have an NCAAT resume and are about 60th in the NET.

Well, the reasons you are describing are why they aren't and won't be in the projected field, and that won't change unless they get more Q1 wins. Look at the next 4 out behind Duke. the only one that probably has a better resume is Ole Miss, which. Its an argument between very flawed resumes on the bubble and usually, they are all pretty equally bad.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Dook is so bad. 11-10, 1 Quad 1 win, 3 bad losses and they have played an easy schedule. They belong nowhere near the Tourney talk.

To give you an idea of how bad they are just look at their schedule and they still only could manage 1 game above .500.

Random teams around Dook in the NET rankings that also should miss Tourney but still have better resumes:

11-10 Dook: Avg win 114 avg loss 65

8-15 UK Avg win 74 avg loss 41

12-13 IU Avg win 104 avg loss 31

9-13 Penn St Avg win 66 avg loss 31

The list goes on and on. Not only is Dook bad, but they have also played a very easy schedule. Just comparing them to other teams having bad seasons they are even worse when you really break down their resume. There is nothing to hang their hat on as far as the committee putting them in. Just those 3 I picked that was right near them in the NET all have more Quad 1 wins and a better resume and none of them belong in the Tourney either.

I'm just saying I don't know how a case could be made to let Dook in with their body of work. Hopefully, they lose again Sat and we don't have to hear them mentioned anymore. Alright, that's all I have. Dinner is ready and I just wasted too much time on Dook. Should have just left it at DOOK SUCKS! LMFAO

ok everybody can stop talking about it DUKE is in one way or the other they are in. If the refs have to have a meeting and call all the games so Duke wins or if the NCAA have to screw a few teams and make them stay home and put Duke in they will do it
