Duke Bias... Why is their bracket so weak?

Question

Man the teams in their bracket in the first few rounds are weak as fuck.

Notre Dame? San Diego St? Colorado? Xavier?

Why not put Wichita State in their damn bracket? Or some tough mid major? The last time Duke won the championship it was because the whole tourney they never had to play anybody. Then they ended up beating Butler in the title game. That's bullshit, it's the same with them every year.

Or maybe put Long Beach St. in their bracket? Instead of putting the tough mid majors playing against each other in these opening rounds.

They need to spread these teams out more, the top mid major teams need to be spread out more amongst the field, instead of jumbling them up and making them play each other so early in the tourney. This could be a much better tournament if they did that. They got the right teams, some of the seeding and where these teams are placed is bullshit tho.

yeah like its been stated the wsu vs vcu  seem to be protecting the "big 6" even so i would have thought duke would have had to face detroit.

godux05 · Answer

So true.  Go Baylor.

ajmaverick · Answer

UNC is just as weak to the Elite 8 bro.

ATLGettinPaper · Answer

Well the thing is Duke wasn&#x27;t always Duke.  You have to give other schools the chance to become the next Duke, or North Carolina.  Protecting Duke every year is bullshit.  Make them earn their wins, don&#x27;t just give them wins.  And Baylor?  Oh please that&#x27;s 1 team that could give them trouble, some brackets have a very strong bracket all the way through.

JakeLake720 · Answer

Duke has a very tough road..Baylor will be big trouble and obviously Kentucky, but watch out for Wichita St..

ATLGettinPaper · Answer

UNC is a #1 seed.  I can understand that, but Duke is a #2 see man, they shouldn&#x27;t get that same consideration.

Fademaster · Answer

If anyone can beat Kentucky in the South bracket.......they deserve to be the National Champ

joemw74 · Answer

uconnecticut will beat kentucky in the southlets go lehigh, beat the duke chokers!

ATLGettinPaper · Answer

So if Duke wins, they play either Notre Dame or Xavier.  Neither one of those teams is that good.  That&#x27;s a cake walk 2 wins right there.

KembaisKing15 · Answer

My friend is a Duke fan says they "earned that road like the other 1 and 2 seeds."  I then asked him who he&#x27;d rather play in the second round Notre Dame or UConn and Memphis like Kentucky and Mich State will see and asked him how Duke earned an easier road to the sweet 16 than a 1 seed.

ATLGettinPaper · Answer

Duke has a easy road to the sweet 16. Their 1st 2 rounds are not even interesting. Xavier fuckin sucks, and Notre Dame just over achieved. Like I said man, those 1st two rounds for Duke are cake walk.

KembaisKing15 · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;Very much so but i think UNLV would truck Duke this year, Baylor im not as confident in doubt Duke makes it past the sweet 16.

Cougs4life · Answer

Not to mention Duke always get to play in their home state..Greensboro..how far is that? 30mins drive from Duke campus?

VirginiaHoldem2 · Answer

Duke did beat Kansas, Mich St, Mich and UNC right? Not half bad if you ask me.  Nobody else has a resume like that.

JakeLake720 · Answer

What does it matter if Duke makes the Sweet 16? A lot of teams have easy roads to the Sweet 16, who cares..It&#x27;s about getting to the Final Four and winning a title..

ATLGettinPaper · Answer

It matters a lot, because if your 1st 2 rounds are cake walks, then your fresh and didn&#x27;t have to go through any wars to get there.  While the team you play might have had 2 tough games and are beat up, give you an advantage to have easy games in the tourney.This is how Dukes sneaks up and gets deep with not that great a team, and then next thing you know, they are in the final 4 and your like WTF?  Just sayin man, I wanna see them play a tough mid major on a neutral court, so they can get their ass knocked out, ha ha....

ocd · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;only quality win there is at unc. &#xD;&#xA;mst and ku couldnt figure themselves out first mth plus. looked awful at times. especially ku.looked real bad vs usc trojans. &#xD;&#xA;both grew up huge during reg season. &#xD;&#xA;and duke squeeked by each....&#xD;&#xA;duke a 2 seed...........&#xD;&#xA;greensboro..........&#xD;&#xA;must be another amex commercial coming soon.....

Zoot · Answer

dookalways get a favorable bracket, and Always plays in either greensboro or charlotte or raleighIrish take them down 2nd rnd

ATLGettinPaper · Answer

Sad to say, but nah that ain&#x27;t gonna happen.  Notre Dame sucks, and so does Xavier.  Duke has it made until the sweet 16.  I think Lehigh has a better chance of beating them then Notre Dame or Xavier.  Xavier would be a good team, but that center they got Frese is as stiff as they get.  That guy can&#x27;t move for shit, he&#x27;s like a fuckin statue.  Look how he got owned by St. Bonaventure&#x27;s big guy.
