LOL!

How many future pros are on that duke team that got bounced? How many on that SCar team? On Lehigh? On Mercer?

duke has a MUCH larger talent advantage over most teams at the NCAA level than any NFL team has over another at the pro level. Stop embarrassing yourself. duke gets bounced on the regular by teams consisting of future accountants and insurance salesmen. 

Those future accountants and insurance salesman have the same amount of rings as UNC players this decade. How many does Duke have? Also are you just done arguing the bracket thing? It goes back decades. I can keep proving you wrong if you'd like?

Read again. duke is getting beaten by the future accountants and insurance salesmen while they have four guys who will probably get taken in the NBA draft this year. It'd be the equivalent of a playoff NFL team getting beaten by a bunch of practice squaders.

Try some reading comprehension before you go boasting about proving anyone wrong.

The gamecocks have 2 guys that will play in the league. Its the equivalent of the patriots getting beat by Chicago. Unlikely and shouldn't happen but it does.

And you claimed Duke had an easier bracket. I proved you wrong.

How about Mercer and Lehigh? VCU? How many pros did those teams produce?

Thornwell is the only guy on that team that has a real shot of having an NBA career.

Lol you're still missing the point here. Duke, with its penchant for being upset by lower seeded teams, has still been more successful than Carolina in the modern era. Each year we get upset we have one thing in common. Neither of us wins the title anyway.

We beat the #5 Michigan State team that upset the #1 seeded duke team in '05 on the way to the title.

What time does duke play this week, maybe we'll finally meet up in the NCAA tourney? Oh wait...

Oh wait... fair-weather Carolina fan tries to make a joke and reveals his limited knowledge of his own bracket. Besides, nothing you bring up will be better than Carolina missing the tournament then losing in the NIT finals the same year Duke wins a national title. Its one thing to get upset first round in the tournament. Its another thing completely to lose in a second tier tournament. Cheers buddy, my walk to Wilson in the morning takes forever and I need to get there before my 8am.

Yep and our coach stood by his team like a man in 2010. The last time duke missed the tournament, K placed the blame at the feet of his long-time assistant, fired him, and duke attributed the losses to Gaudet. Fine "leader of men" that guy is.

Nothing you bring up will be better than duke getting bounced by a far inferior team on opening weekend... again. 

Its one thing to be the preseason #1 team in America. It's another thing to finish 5th in your conference and get bounced in the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament.

Before you start trashing academics, might wanna take a look at how many duke athletes over the years major in sociology. Seems a bit suspicious to say the least.

But, speaking of moving the goal posts...

Let's compare sociology degree from Duke or a African American studies degree from NC at this point...

Well one difference is you actually have to attend a actual class to get it..

This coming from the very same person who just accused UNC fans of "moving the goal posts".

Let's compare duke and UNC's upcoming opponents. Looks like UNC will be facing Butler in the Sweet 16. I wonder which team the duke guys will be facing on NCAA 2K17 on their PS4?

Then i'll go lets compare 2 national championship this decade to none..

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
