Oh, absolutely. F playing in North Carolina. It’s actually good sometimes for a team to get away from home, away from the home beds, and immerse themselves completely in being at the tourney... like, not a bus drive away, you know? Plus, all those Cheaters fans...

But, here are specifics:
Average RPI rating of the top 5 seeds in each region.
MW: 9.4
South: 9.8
West: 12.6
East: 15
It's a sign of success and respect to sell out arenas when we come to town. Want to insult us? Don't show up. Have like 15 people in the stands.
I think Duke will crack the sweet 16 but I think it will be big trouble against Michigan State.
If Duke could play 30-35 minutes they way they play that 8-12 minute stretch every game where they are super intense, into the game, start rebounding, scoring, being physical, hitting 3s, they'd be one of the favorites for the FF.
I think MSU will beat Duke unless we see a dramatic turnaround in the consistency of their player over 40 minutes, not 8-10 minutes as against Carolina.

Anyone see Cal on ESPN earlier during the Bracketology show? He was saying that he asked his players if any of them knew what state Boise was in and then he made a crack at Bilas saying that “with that Duke education I know YOU don’t know.” To which Bilas responded “but my butler does!”
Stay. Your region is very difficult. Think you would walk through the East until the Elite 8 without any issues. The South is tougher in the top half, than the bottom half. I'd rather be the #2 there than UVA with the #1. I think they should feel particularly slighted and I think that you guys have the toughest road of any #2 early on. At the end of the day you just have to beat the guys in front of you, there will be upsets and it won't be all chalk.
Neither is a Google search.
Ah my mistake. Well if you still haven’t seen the bracket. Duke is in the Midwest as the 2 seed with Kansas as their 1 and Michigan State as their 3. The Midwest is without a doubt the toughest region in this year’s tournament.
Much obliged. That's not an easy bracket either. Might be the toughest one.
Nailed it. If we lose ANY game it will be because we beat ourselves. Just my homer opinion.
Roll the ball out and let’s play!!
