I don't think we can assume that he'd be tearing apart the league -- because i don't think he would.

I still don't think Duke is the best team in the country. Duke hasn't looked good to me, so far. Not like the #1 team anyway -- and I find more negatives in that win over VT than positives. Give me the team that, without their starting PG, won a tournament, the Maui Invitational, that consisted of teams like Michigan State, Arizona, Kansas, Maryland, and Gonzaga.
LMAO of course you would want your OWN team. OK, that field is lets say "OVERRATED" (As the Houston fans said as they were routing Arizona 20-4 in the first half of the game they WON!) Michigan State ALWAYS starts highly ranked then loses to shit teams (Hawaii) and the loses pile up (Gonzaga, a very good team but w/e). Kansas...umm who? Maryland always plays Duke hard I'll give them that. And Gonzaga is good but UConn SHOULD have won that tourney. Duke has injuries, and JJ was in foul trouble in the VT game. Yeah blowing a team out by 60 isn't looking good.
