      As much as I hate Duke... I think it's debatable as far as determining if Duke deserves the 1 seed, but also it's tough to make a strong argument against them being the 1 seed as well. Gotta give up the props when it's due.

            I can only speak for myself, but my dislike for Duke has more to do with ESPN's ACC propoganda. Can Mike Patrick and Dukie V just call a game without campaigning to be put on ESPN Classic? If it turns out to be a great game, then so be it, but you don't have to hype it up every 5 seconds during the game when people are already watching. They also treated the Duke-UNC game like a national holiday despite UNC's mediocrity this year. Normally I would laugh this off, but when you see a joke like Maryland getting a #4 seed, you have to wonder if it really influences some people consciously or not.
            And by the way, Duke has the same # of national titles as about 8 other teams in the last 10 years; so their recent run, while impressive, isn't exactly Wooden-esque.

            Excactly the reason I think most people including me dislike Duke is the rediculous amount of over exposure they get compared to other teams.

                        Even though Duke didn't win the ACC tourney, they were the regular season champs AND they got to the ACC title game. There's a lot to be said for that. I, as a Tech fan, dislike Duke as much as the next guy, but I respect the program. Now, considering the fact that ESPN's final poll has SIX ACC teams in the top 21 and only TWO SEC teams in the entire top 25, Duke's regular season title is much more impressive than anything Miss. State has done.

                              amen winning the regular season in the toughest conference and consitently winning deserves a number one seed...plus all of their losses were to decent teams... i don't think they lost a game out of the top 25 (cept for maybe purdue) and maryland who is currently a four seed...
