There are no easy roads, but even before the conference championship game they deserved to be where Michigan is, and vice versa. I say that as a Michigan fan. By beating the Wolverines twice, they at least earned the right to not be in the region with the overall #1 instead of the 'lowest' #1. I think they have a small, but legit beef.

Win a close game probably, and quite possibly lose? I think Duke has the highest ceiling of any team in the country, but at the same time they lost twice to UNC - yes, without Zion but they almost lost to them with him and might well have lost the first game if he'd not gotten hurt. I think the celebration of Williamson's phenomenal play is sort of causing some things to get lost. Namely that they do still have a tendency to go hero-ball and lose the thread a fair amount. They're young, so that's no railing criticism but only the fact that Tre Jones is so mature for his age by all appearances make them even a favorite IMO. Wouldn't shock me at all to see a bad performance or somebody gets in foul trouble and then everybody will be talking about them being overhyped - and being half-wrong then too. I think Duke is too feared in some quarters this year.
