Can we get some sort of government agency to study why this phenomenon occurs?
Like that episode of the X-Files where Mulder and Scully found the luckiest man alive, but it'd sort of be the opposite, plus without the creepy-cool theme music.
At the very least, there's got to be somebody in Vegas that wants to study trends that go along with his picks.

Of course they were. Position-by-position, Carolina was a better team. May was overpowering Williams in the post, neither Ewing nor Dockery could cover Felton, and McCants is more atheletic than Redick. They just got outplayed. I'm amazed how Duke is winning games this year - it brings to mind the "old" Duke teams that weren't really talented but played well together and always played hard.
Yeah, just too bad he couldn't hit a single goddamn shot all game :lol
Really, dude was completely off all night.
Not that it's really showed up in this thread yet, but I never will understand all the deep hatred for Duke. They have easily one of the best 5 coaches in NCAA history, and he and his players are all class.
I just don't get it.

Lucky ass shots?
Wow, and I thought playing a game like basketball required, you know, skill. I guess it was a good thing for Jordan that he hit all those lucky ass shots throughout his career to win games too.
And Duke is hated more for their arrogance than anything else. This really can all be traced back to Christian Laettner, but whatever. The guy was one of the best college basketball players of all time (too bad he sucked as a pro).

I hate Laettner for going to the Olympics over Shaq. Now I may realize why Shaq never goes. He's like, 'Fuck that, you bastards fucked it up the first time around.' That would have been Dream Team 1, right? I think 'The Man' set that one up.

Another reason to hate Duke...their fans have about as much sense of humour as a goth convention. :lol Christ, quit taking things so fucking seriously you big baby...no one said they weren't good, the primary reason for the hatred of teams (witness the Yankees).
And yeah, Laettner being on the Dream Team over Isiah Thomas? One more reason to hate him and Duke. :lol
