    "Somebody said that we're not in President Obama's Final Four, and as much as I respect what he's doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets," Krzyzewski told a reporter from the Associated Press on Wednesday.

    IMO this is wrong and why i hate him.

        You're joking right?

        Adding him to Marquette would actually make me worried about the Sweet 16 match up.

            Hopefully Missouri takes care of them then, I'd rather play Mizzou than Marquette w/ James.

                  Don't bother. o0luke0o didn't even put the whole quote in there, just took the excerpt to make it seem like K was taking a shot at the President.

                  But yeah...let's not go down this path. I already closed a thread about it.

                      Wow. That's a shocker.

                      dook was deserving of a 2 seed this season. There may be better teams, (and really, who could say that definitively?) but they earned their spot more than the other teams seeded behind them. I really don't see how that could be questioned. They had virtually the same record as Nova, Mizzo & Cuse w/a tougher schedule.

                        I can't remember the last time any legit member of the media had Duke winning a championship in their brackets. That's including the Redick/Williams years when they were legitimately one of the best teams in the country.

                        And I fail to see how the 2001 title was handed to them. They had the best team in the nation that year. I'm still pissed about how the 2002 title was stolen from us, but you don't see me hating on Indiana.

                        .
                        How is Arizona overrated more often than Duke? And UCLA, how many straight Final 4's have they been in? Kentucky? Really you want to stick with that?

                        2001, Unbelievable Duke treatment by the officials turned both the Maryland game and the Arizona game. To this day, it's still amazing to see the incredulous looks on Duke players and Coach K's face, when Duke actually does get called for a foul.

                        They are the Notre Dame of college basketball.

                          Why do people let ESPN dictate who they are going to hate? That stupid *** logic makes no sense, you wanna hate Duke for some legit reason then by all means keep the hate flowing but for anyone to say they hate Duke because ESPN covers them too much needs to examine what they base things on as it pertains to teams they like or hate. Did it ever occur to anyone that they cover the schools that bring in the ratings consistently? I would venture a guess that Duke and UNC bring in the ratings, there is a reason why these cinderella teams get very little to no coverage through the season, because they dont bring in the ratings. If Cleveland St could bring in the same ratings that a team like Duke or UNC does then they would get more coverage, would some of you hate them then as well? Like the other poster said, we havent done anything for 8 years, nobody at ESPN said we are going to win the tournament, I havent heard anyone say they play in the toughest conference on ESPN so is everything based on pre-season speculation then? Heading into the season what guarantees are there in college sports? Certain programs will always remain competitive, they may not have the horses to win it all but competitive none the less, and those schools are Duke, UNC, UCONN, Memphis, Kansas etc. and out of those teams they all get coverage.

                          I know Im fighting a never ending battle since so many hate Duke and wont change their tune but until we win something of significance I dont understand what there is to hate exactly.
                          Yeah, it's ESPN's fault people hate Duke. That's a good one.

                            Yep. It's similar (sort of) to how people say ESPN/CBS caused the hatred towards The Tebow. The difference is Tebow is a title winner two the last three years. Duke has rarely the best team in the nation of late.

                            I like your comparison to ND in football earlier BK. Pretty accurate, but ND's performance is not at the level of Duke in basketball.

                                I didn't like them w/o James, but with him...dang. If he is really, truly healthy, that's going to be a great game.
