Duke is out

So I am really disappointed but not surprised that Duke is out of the tourney. I mean how can you be surprised when for the past three weeks Duke has played like they want to loose. Or that the past three years their leading scorer does poorly and Coach K wont bench him. Or that it is clear that while coach K's strategy mainly works during the year, there are times where it just totally falls apart and he does little to nothing to adjust. And so when the Tourney comes around little teams like WVU beat them and a no name team Belmont takes them to the wire. Finally Duke has an well known history of being a three point team but the years they have won or done well in the Tourney, they have had a big man to help dominate the boards at both ends of the court. For the last three years we have not had one and right now it does not look like we will have one for next year so more than likely we will not make it past the 16 which is ridiculous! Teams like Duke should make it to the 8 every year....sigh

I for one am glad to see them go. I hate teams like Duke that are good every year. Most teams are supposed to have a few rough rebuilding years. I heartily dislike Duke as much as North Carolina, Yankees, Red Sox, Browns, Steelers and Bungles.
