Duke is number 2 seed in East
- Thread starter acc hoops
- Start date
Hope UCLA beats UK then beats the holes. How awesome would that be that both don't make it to the final four? U.C.L.A!!!
I will say this cautiously, 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.
We can certainly make it to the FF. Dukes already handled a 1 seed and a 2 seed just this weekend
Sorry but Tar Holes region is weak. Period. No game on paper til regional final
Yeah, UNC has a walk to the Elite Eight, but whichever of those two they get when they get there will be tough.
Cheating Tarheels got lucky when Wichita State got screwed with being a 10 seed and should have been an 8 seed.
Would have loved to have seen the meltdown if UK had gotten the 1 and UNC the 2.

FSU as a #3 and ND as a #5 makes no sense - ND beat them head to head and lost in the ACCT final.....go figure
Someone mentioned earlier but it's potentially a home game for South Carolina against us in round 2
YES!! My girlfriend won tickets last week for the first round in Greenville though her work and I told her we pretty much had no shot of seeing Duke unless they run the gauntlet in the ACC Tournament and our boys F***ing delivered! Thank you my Blue Devils!
We're going to the final four. Love out draw! Nova will be fun but we take em down
I did not expect to open as the Vegas favorite. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Honestly call me silly but I think Villanova could lose early like they traditionally have.
Permit me to wax poetic for a moment. I usually don't, haha.
The way I feel about this bracket is how I felt about it in 2015, which was starkly different than 2010. I think we can beat every team in the region if we come to play.
Each of those 2 seasons had a defining moment in the form of a loss where the team recovered and put it all together after. I feel like for this team it was a win. I think beating the Cheaters for the second time was that moment for this team. May have even been Louisville.
The biggest fear I have with this team is that we play down to our opponents. At least in my opinion. If anything, I worry about the first weekend more than anything after that. I actually feel like this team needs a certain amount of pressure to play at its best and the team will play better as the stakes get higher.
I won't say it too loud, but I like our path this year. I have confidence in the coaching staff and this team. Fortunately, my boss (me) gave me Thursday and Friday off this week. I can't wait.
Let's win this thing.

I live out west now so catch thier games. I don't think they are as good as thier ranking/seeding. I think that draw was as good as it gets for a 3 seed.
2nd round will be road game with Heels & Gamecocks fans rooting against us.
I agree..very athletic and a highly motivated Semi....hope someone knocks them out...
SMU should have been a 4 or 5, so that was tough. But if Duke can't beat an SMU then they just aren't good enough.
I think it's Baylor nova Marquette ...I think if we beat Baylor Marquette we're cutting down the nets or at least in the title game
..nova doesn't scare me I'm sure will give hart a career game though

Nova is tough but they traditionally get beat early. Last year was really the only time they have done well in the last few years. Let's hope they get back to normal
