Title: That was the first I've watched Duke for an extended period this year...

How did they even do as well as they did playing that brand of basketball?  All they do is jack up 3's- it's like they have 5 Marshall Hendersons on the floor (without the douchiness).  They've been one of the more physical teams in the country for a few years, but not anymore.  I guess they're finally all out of Plumlees? :dunno:

That they were seeded 3rd over Louisville is a huge freaking joke...and evidence of bias by the committee chair - the AD of Wake Forest - IMO.

Pitino made some angry comments that he ended by saying "though, I am sure that the committee has integrity and honesty".  I believe he was being sarcastic without being really obvious that he was.  Just MO, lol.

The thing is, I can't stand Pitino.  One of the things he was also complaining about was that Manhattan should have been seeded higher.  The coach at Manhattan used to be his ballboy when he was with the Knicks.  The thought of Pitino losing to his former ballboy is one I really like... :dielaughing:

The thing is, he almost DID lose.  Manhattan was up 3 with 4 minutes left.  The look on Pitino's face was priceless.   :naughty:
