Banke: Coach K is a great coach, and any team would want a coach that could affect the officials. Don't hate him because he is great at what he does. Duke wasn't as great as last year but they were still a talented team and made things happen for themselves, they didn't fall blindly into them.
BOOKIE: They missed shots at the end but if the correct calls had been made earlier they probably wouldn't have been in a position where those shots would kill them.
Cincyfred: Duke is always a top team. They do not always have the best recruiting class. They have a great coach and play hard. Duke also wins championships as much as anyone else lately. I don't think you can call the program underachieving. Maybe this year's squad thanks to getting ripped off, but definately not the program.
tenancious g: Williams is a man among boys and a sure #1 pick in the NBA draft. He is the best player in college basketball, and even though Stevie Wonder could shoot a better percentage from the free throw line, he makes it up with being great at just about everything else basketball related.
olddog: Oregon St. didn't make the tourney. Assuming you were talking about Oregon, no shot in hell. You can make strong cases for Kansas and Maryland, but Oklahoma and Oregon would have alot of trouble getting past the Dukies. Oregon would have no shot in my oppinion.
