Duke or North Carolina complaining about anything having to do with CBB (or the NCAA in general) is about as laughable as you can get.

I've always felt like Duke, UNC and Kentucky get a raw deal from ESPN. Glad to see I'm not the only one....

God I can't stand Stephen A.... Hes such a douche!

Thanks for the link though! Hadn't heard about this

Lmao. I remember him saying some dumb shit to KD like "You really don't want to make an enemy of me." Yeah, I'm sure he's shaking in his sneakers.

How can anyone be afraid of this guy?

Coach K did a HORRIBLE job coaching this year, plain and simple. The man has a roster STACKED full of McDonald's All Americans......he gets ridiculously favored calls, like the Grayson Allen trippings this year that resulted in no suspensions.......and usually most teams facing his see an increase in calls against them.

with 7 players this was bound to happen. You wear down at the end of the season, it's pretty simple. Sweet 16 with 7 players is now a "horrible coaching" job?

When 6 of those 7 are McDonalds All Americans, YES it is.

Every other ACC team in the tourney that made the Sweet 16 - Miami, Notre Dame, Syracuse, and Virginia (not counting UNC) have 2 COMBINED.

Most teams only play 8 guys. The benches are irrelevant since nearly none of them play.

Coach K and Duke are traditional powers.....but I'm not giving them a pass on this. They have more talent than most teams in this tourney. They got outplayed, and outcoached, period.

It's March Madness. Sometimes the teams with the Best talents don't win.. If that were the case then why did the rest of the tournament happen, just give Duke the title...
