Since the ACC only has 3 good teams Duke has 0 shot at being the number 1 overall seed this year even with beating Auburn at home.   Duke is 6-3 in Q1 games this year.  Auburn is 16-2 in Q1 games.    The league being so bad hurt Duke in the area however they are going to be #2 overall 1 seed so they will be on opposite sides of Auburn 

I think them being 2nd overall is an acknowledgment of the talent on their team. They def do not deserve #1 overall in light of what Auburn has put together this season. Just don’t have the volume of Q1 wins in the ACC and when they started in November the freshmen played like freshmen, so lost games late to UK and KU — both of whom I think they’d beat pretty easily now.

The league is a mid major league however Duke is the second best team in the country 

And people seriously considering Brownell as legit for his top 3 finish in a mid major level conference

I watched his Wright State teams here in Dayton.  Just 5 miles from my house in the missed approach to WPAFB.

Pass on Brownell.

Now, Archie Miller was great.

Obviously, stuff like that does not translate into the BIG TIME.

And I questioned Archie's hire...but was hopeful

I did not question Tom Crean's hire...I was against it.

I did not understand Woodson's hire.

Mike Davis was so wrong.

Sampson was interesting.  But IU blew it by not providing oversight.  And Sampson could not put the cell phone down.  Sad.

Indiana had to really try to skewer IU men's basketball brand.  They should be proud.  Herbert, your actions are still perceived as not in the interests of Indiana University.

Who will be the next body that we can burn in effigy?

He has the state of Indiana connection so by default he is going to have people push for him.   Beat Duke and went to the Elite 8 last year would be the argument and still has this tourney to prove what he can do.    Not on my list however he will be on some

This may be a topic for another thread — or until they have another game — but I wonder your take on Archie Miller’s performance at URI?

I just can be a fan of Nic Martenilli.  Flops to get foul calls and complains everytime he gets called on himself.

Northwestern on an 11-0 run in about the last two and half minutes.  UCLA's lead down to 3 with 33.4 seconds left.

NOrthwestern absolutely hacking the hell out of UCLA...no call.  One point game.

Martinelli miss, UCLA steal and breakaway.  Northwestern intentional foul on the breakaway.
