A lot of attention is going to be paid to Kennard, Tatum, and Allen. As it should be, they have been outstanding. But Duke is getting increased interior production, which is a very big deal when you have a perimeter as skilled as Duke does. Amile and Harry combined for 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 blocks. Those aren't eye-popping numbers or anything, but they are enough for this team and its makeup.

Carolina looked like the team that played 3 days in a row. Duke is becoming a good second half team and are making the plays. I am very happy for Giles because he was a difference maker. The amazing thing about Duke is no matter where they play the place is packed. Largest crowd ever in this areana tonight.

We should be a 1 seed before them. Better resume and beat em 2 outta 3.

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.
