I'm okay with Duke not being in the 1 seed conversation. I think they are only a win or two away from that conversation, but it is what it is. But what still boggles my mind is the continued conversation that UNC is a virtual 1 seed lock, even after tonight. Maybe it is the Duke fan in me, but I just don't see a top four in the country resume there. As of the RPI rankings this very moment, they don't have a single road or neutral win over anyone in the top 30.

Ultimately seeding doesn't matter a ton. Everyone that advances has to beat good teams. I'm just commenting on the general discussion/analysis.

I'm with you, Huffy. I think UNC is a very good team, but away from the Dome they haven't been anything special.

Great great game. When a team comes back like that, it shows a lot about their character. Just so happy to see them playing so well, together.

Berry got Jackson right across the forearm. I don't know how on earth Seth rants that he didn't. Dude, what, you think Jackson just stopped dribbling and the ball shot away, like, naturally?

I'm having too much fun right now, but maybe in the wee hours of the morning I may venture over to take a gander at the collateral damage from the juggernaut Heels implosion.

Thanks

How can you hit someone in the arm with a hatchet, causing him to lose the ball, and not call a foul? I don't even understand why it's in question? Was it simply because it was the superstars 4th? He should of gotten MJ treatment!

Am so sick of hearing about the fouls. If one player affects a team that much then they are in trouble. And it wasn't a questionable foul. It was a damn foul.

Yeah, Berry sitting was a big turn for us...but he did foul the hell out of Frank. And no doubt we took advantage of Berry's absence, but Duke had something to do with that comeback also because after Berry went out the lead went from, I think 8, to 13 points. So Duke could have folded but they kept on attacking.

And finally foul trouble is part of the game, we've had our share of it. Duke deserved the win because they took everything UNC had, and while the Heels were high fivin' on the sidelines thinking it was over...the Blue Devils didn't, and continued to play. Once we got that 5 to 7 point lead I knew it was over. Duke showed more toughness, the Heels melted down.

One thread is a bunch of butt hurt whiners and one thread that Gary-7 started had guys realistic who said they were outplayed and out-coached. Still funny to see them complain about poor officiating.

Throughout our game and also throughout the ND/FSU game they've been showing the graphic about how 6 different teams have won the last 6 ACC Tournaments but that streak will come to an end because Duke, ND and FSU have all won the ACC Tournament in the last 6 years.

I think Duke wins. Vegas opened UNC as a 3 pt favorite and moved them to 4 since. UNC getting all the love so far. Duke does well in this type of scenario.

If Duke does lose, it will be in a performance worthy of winning.
I called it! But so did pretty much everyone kn here!

Right I wouldn't change a thing!

Frank Jackson seems to play better when he starts the game. We've needed his production. Psychologically, Jackson is the starter but Grayson is playing starter minutes.
If this team can play this way, Matt is one who loses minutes. He may not start Allen until NCAA but best lineup is Jackson, Allen, Kennard, Tatum and Jefferson/Giles

I'm not young enough either! But if knew who you were talking about, I could do it.
EDIT: I did a Google search and it seems he's...a rapper? Is that him?
