The fun thing about Tennessee is they have. Chance against almost anyone. Now, they could just as easily shit the bed against anyone, but they have a shot.

Hopefully that Iowa game got the cobwebs out of their heads and they'll put UMass away easily *hopeful*

Hate the whole State of North Carolina right now.

NC State chokes, Duke sucks, and watch as North Carolina beats Providence to fuck up my whole bracket. Jesus.

You know, despite all the hype, Parker wasn't much better for this team's post season chances than Austin Rivers.

Just not enough scrappy white kids that stay for 4 years

Is he the only one?

I don't know. They only update the standings once a day. His was the only one still perfect of the "top 25" brackets. But there were certainly more than 25 perfect brackets after yesterday, but they don't show them.

If that's your bracket I see you like New Mexico as well as I do. But that's not looking like a solid pick at the moment :-( They still have another half to go but I wasn't expecting Stanford to put up such a fight.

Nah, it's not mine. I wish it was! I'm 12 of 17 so far. Duke was my first Elite 8 team to fall.

I see this guy's got a perfect one too, so there are still more out there. Amazing.

So many of those I clicked on have Duke to E8 or F4. Only 1 out of the 10 or so I clicked on had Duke winning just 1 game.

I just need to come to terms with that I really hate college basketball now, pretty much after VCU in 2007. It never makes me happy. Even when Duke wins like in 2010, I just feel relief, not happiness. When the football team lost to A&M, I was bummed for about 15 minutes, and it didn't sour the season they had at all. This flushes anything the basketball team accomplished down the toilet, not that they did much this year. They didn't even have that run of invincibility in the early months, they just consistently sucked.

Yep, I hate college basketball.

You'll be back. Just wait until the next UNC v. Duke game next year, you'll be cheering your heart out in no time.

If the media hated K liked they hated Cal they would be dumping on him for this year.

Awful, awful coaching job.

He should have taken a LOA after his brother died, it really fucked him up, but he didn't want to deal with all the bullshit that came with the "imaginary" back injury in 95
 
Totally called Mercer. A MILE a fucking way.

A college I've never heard of against a legendary team that has underachieved all season? They just fit ball gowns for that Cinderella shit.

Does Duke have a successor lined up if K were to retire? I've never heard it discussed.

I think Chris Collins will get it if he turns around Northwestern.

They're definitely going to take a big step down though once Coach K retires. They don't have the advantages that the other traditional basketball powers have.
 
Just want to see some opinions on this.

If Duke hadn't won the title in 2010, would the narrative coming out of today be that coach K is on the downside of his career and close to hanging it up? Gotta wonder if he doesn't make a Final Four with Okafor and Jones next year, what the reaction will be. Of course, Okafor and Jones could be highly overrated coming out of HS and take some time to adjust to college, like the UK class this year.

I think eventually that would creep up in mainstream discussions.

He's so respected and liked that he receives a pass on a lot of things. There's also the aftermath from his brother's death.

The man is 67. If he makes it to another championship game in the next three years, he retires after that.

Okafor is terribly overratted imo
