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.  |
I'd take my own team not because they're my own team. I've only picked my team to legitimately compete for the NCAA Championship in 1999 and 2004. Hell, I'd take Villanova and Texas over Duke too -- because like your excuse practically said, J.J. (Or Sheldon, for that matter) get in foul trouble and Duke is done in the tournament. And yes, a tournament which is referred to as one of the best fields ever (NCAA Tournaments obviously excluded) is very overrated. A tournament with 5 top 25 teams, and 4 preseason top 10 teams is very overrated. Basically, your tournament is pretty damn good when you can say that one of the weakest links is Kansas.
Which of Duke's wins should impress me? Seton Hall? Seton Hall's been taken to the wire by Marist and Farleigh Dickinson. In other words, they no good. That doesn't seem much different than UConn killing Texas Southern by 64, I'm not going to preorder my 2005-06 NCAA Champions shirt because of it.
You say that UConn should've won that tournament as a way to dismiss their accomplishment, then your response to Duke being overrated is that they're undefeated. Duke SHOULD win those games -- so by your logic, they don't matter.
