incredibly ignorant post of the day; never is a long time! I would say somebody is butt-hurt about Duke's loss...and I will confess that after living in Durham for the 4 years of Bobby Hurley final 4 teams that I actually pull for Duke (they've destroyed my bracket a few times in recent years). And as someone who sent 2 kids to Clemson, don't tell me the ACC isn't playing in the NIT. I'm hoping for a Clemson vs SMU match-up in MSG
Does DBB really think that Coach K was not HAPPY that SMU was snubbed with the NC State addition to the tournament?
When you are recruiting head to head for one of the top 5 players in America that you desperately need on your team (Duke NEEDS a big man), you have to enjoy EVERY advantage that you can get in recruiting. The SMU snub allows K to go back to a recruit and use our Conference against us, even though we all know that the American can compete head to head with ACC any day of the week with our top 5 teams.
However, I know that said recruit is way too smart to fall for Coach K's ACC vs. American talk.
