Also Mtsu has top 4-5 seed talent. Hard to argue against the south

You guys haven't even played a ****ing game yet and you're already talking about this. You're going through Arkansas/Seton Hall, probably Bulter and then UCLA/UK. That's not that bad.

Just a response to the poster making the comparison

Bracket as a whole is widely considered the toughest.

I'm guessing you mentioned "bracket as a whole" because you correctly realized that it's not what I was talking about. The UCLA-UK-Wichita side is tough, but Carolina would only have to play one of them.

Your argument was that a 3 seed was better then a 4 seed.. Well, yeah.

Sorry, but I hate the idea of Wojo vs. K. I don't like the idea of playing your friends.

Duke was handed a road to the FF made up of chocolate ice cream, sprinkles and chocolate syrup. If they can't beat Wojo, something has gone horribly wrong

I'm not worried about Wojo or USCjr, I just would prefer not to play someone familiar with the program. And the road to Phoenix doesn't seem that easy to me.

I always love the hate Duke gets when someone seeded higher than them loses and everyone immediately says Duke gets the easiest bracket because another team lost. It's definitely one of my favorite things.

Just bring up 2010 and it drives Heel fans crazy. They are convinced it was rigged for Duke. Never mind that they were gifted 82 and 93 by 2 of the dumbest plays in NCAA history.

Look I have a lot of respect for UNC and their fans, some of my best friends are UNC fans and alums, but damn you guys play the victim better than any fan base in the world. It's always something, "K gets all the calls", "Everybody else does it, why are we in trouble?"

Chill man. We both take our teams seriously, this message board, not so much.

Kinda wondering if we should be worrying today as fans of ACC teams. Rough showing so far.

I'm a little worried about Duke, but more because of the building they're playing in than an ACC thing. Virginia pretty much is who we thought they were

Me too. Kinda nervous, but I also know South Carolina isn't great and that performance Friday was an anomaly for this season. Marquette is really bad on defense. They will be Duke getting off to a fast start and taking the crowd out of it. If they start fast I don't see UNC fans sticking around for the whole game.

Virginia dares you to shoot 3's and UF took the dare and won.

I'm a bit concerned as well. This is pretty much an away game and happens to be probably the biggest game in the history of South Carolina basketball. Duke needs to start fast or at least prevent South Carolina from starting fast.

The environment is right for an upset, and I think last year's Duke team or some of the other ones would be in trouble. We'll see, but I think this team is better than that.
