Oh and sense l didn't have the time to reply last week when everyone wanted to bring up Carolina's new record of having the most wins following a National Title and that it would never be broken..lets not forget two more records out there... 25 straight trips to the dance- Carolina 30 points-Margin of victory in a National Title game...UNLV beat Duke by 30....two more records that will never be broken :D

If I had to pick a team that has a better shot at winning it all, I'd say Kansas. In the games I've watched they've played more consistently. Duke, Kentucky, and Syracuse look too vulnerable. They all rely on their main guy playing lights out. As good as Carolina's team and bench was last season, they couldn't have won it without Ty Lawson. This year one of the powers could squeak by a game or two if they get outdumbed. Kentucky was beaten every way but in the W column against Mississippi State yesterday, and Kyle Singler outsmarted 3 straight weaker teams for Duke in the ACC Tourney. Syracuse lost out early in theirs, so maybe the extra rest helps them some - helped UNC last year. Kentucky may go back to struggling some next year if Cousins and Wall are "1 and done". Hard to pick a bracket to the Elite 8 this season - everyone is subject to an upset on a mediocre night. The team that can scrap by a couple times on an off night will move to the end. I'd like to see a Final Four without any teams from the Big East, Big 10, SEC, PAC 10, or Big 12.

All arguing aside for a minute, I'll tell you what Duke had this year, a guy with some basketball sense on the court. I watched a bunch of teams play ball this year, and I witnessed way too many idiotic players on the court. There are a lot of athletic players around the country, but the BB IQ has gone way down this year. A couple good examples - Georgia Tech has some talented big men in Favors and Lawal and others, but those guys are right in the middle of unforced turnovers constantly, seemingly out of position 95% of the time, and constant in-action poor decisions. Kentucky's team is also very young, but without Wall playing on target, they stink. Cousins can't get it done without Wall on the court. By the end of the first year, even these freshmen should be seasoned a bit. Wake Forest same way. Duke didn't always have the shots fall this year, but at least they knew what needed to be done. When Singler was off, the Duke team struggled. When Singler was on, especially in the clutch moments, Duke was hard to beat. Duke will definitely miss Singler next year. It helped to have 3 scorers on the team, but Singler got it done for them. I think the athleticism has evened out a bunch of teams top to bottom this year, but the lack of basketball sense has also done the same thing. Players like Ty Lawson and Kyle Singler don't come around all that much. UNC has some talent potential this year and definitely coming in next year, but I really just hope they get some players who can actually think in action. If your ballhandlers and scorers can't do that, you can't win. That's what wins games, that's what makes all the other surrounding players better. I will agree to disagree always with Dookies, but you guys earned your spots this year with some court sense and I do respect that.

Congrats on the #1 seed, I'll say it was deserved, but l still don't see them getting too far..they are worn down.

As for Wolfpack, saying an ACC title or the NCAA Tourny is something the Tarheels will not see for a long time is just another sign of your ignorance..ONE bad year AFTER winning a National Title(something Duke hasnt done lately) and you're ready to condem them for life?lolz

Please, don't hype your duke team too much for they havent won anything yet..regular season means nothing to the top programs like carolina,duke,kentucky,and kansas...it's all about the National Titles and thats something we have more of in the last 5 years than any1 else..providing Kansas doesnt win it this year..which is highly likely.

GT, when and where is the game? would love to see it.

GT I'm back in town so anytime this week will be fine with me. Let me know after your sell your chickens(Which i'm sure are your daddys not yours) and a good time for you and i'll make time if i need to and i'll be ready. And don't u worry about me having the money thats more than took care of so i won't need to work construction with u and daddy. Just to let u know too, no i'm not a pencil pusher and i have worked in chicken houses myself years ago when some of my family raised them but unlike you i decided to go out and do something on my own instead of hanging on daddys coat tails.

thumping each other's arses

That's a UNC tradition!! LMAO

Awwww poor curtain must be another tarhole fan? Well since roy isn't gonna be coaching anytime soon maybe you and him can hook up for some tea bag lessons and then take turns thumping each other's arses since that's what roy and the tarholes got used to this year!! Boooo Hoooo LMAO!!!!

gtprobe after d***ie v chokes on a digiorno pizza i think you are the next in line to suck coach k's c*ck

I watched the whole selection show and I didn't see the carowina tarholes in any section of the NCAA Tournament? Was I watching the same show as everybody else or was CBS lying? LMAO!! Local, Yanks, Boss if the tarholes are in the big show, please inform me of who they will be playing?

Duke #1 in the south!! Can't wait to see where the tarholes end up at?? LMAO

Something the tarheels won't see again for a long time.

Duke fans,always content with Acc Titles which mean nothing compared to NATIONAL TITLES

DUKE 18 ACC TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONSHIPS carowina 17!!!! AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, now that's funny Yanks!!!! Way funnier than the bs you said, which coming from a tarhole fan means nothing this year.. Wait a minute who does carowina play in the first round of the NCAA Tournament?? Which bracket are they in, if they are in one at all?? AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Please tell all of us who the carowina tarholes play?? I would really like to know?? LMAO!!!! DUKE 18 unc 17!!! Nuff said!!!!

Duke has won 9 of the last 12 ACC tournaments!!

Way to go Devils

Duke, without a career performance from Singler(which drained everything he had left for the big dance) should have lost to the bottom feeder of the ACC yesterday..and y'all think they are gonna do something special in the tourny?haha

Too funny :)

Let me know when Dook wins another National Championship; I'll start pulling for them to break our record. UNC's already had a couple chances at that one the past 5 years.  Been a while for the Dookies.

Go DUKE

I'm not trying to take anything away from carowina and their record setting 16 losses following a National Championship season but yesterday Duke passed carowina for the most wins in the ACC Tournament and today made that 86 wins to the tarholes 84!!!! Now back to the 16 losses... I'm sure that will be a record the carowina tarholes will hold for years to come and maybe forever. So Local that will give you and your fellow unc graduates something to talk about since they won't be around this time next week!!!! AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAH LMAO!!!!

Can't believe all the empty seats in Greensboro with 2 North Carolina teams in the semi-finals.
