could still be maybe 10 or so perfect brackets there are always a few who pick against Duke (even in the first round).
Hahahaha.....my bracket's now in shambles thanks to Duke....and right now I could care less. Mercer? hahahaha.....

Dick Vitale is irate, once again arguing that Mercer never should have been invited to the tournament in the first place.
Jabari did say about 2 weeks ago he was considering coming back and it depended on how the season ended. http://tracking.si.com/2014/03/07/duke-jabari-parker-still-undecided-on-nba-draft/ I wonder if he comes back, it would be Mikes last year.
I will be shocked if he is back, then again K is a master salesman. if he is back this loss will not have been worth it as they will have an all time type of tam next year w/ the class they have coming in. I expect Parker & Hood to leave.
we are in the middle of a great tournament, can't you guys put this argument on old? obviously I love dumb arguments too but enjoy this tourney. Hopefully the heels aren't another upset victim tonight or all this happiness will be gone.
All I said was that it was justice that Dayton beat Ohio State. Hackett took offense to that and started making a bunch of absurd posts, like how UNC/Villanova is a similar situation to Ohio State and its local rivals, and how suggesting Ohio State should play a local rival each year is the same as saying UCLA should be forced to play every single school in the state of California.
ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo 21m Coach K is the 6th coach in NCAA Tournament history with 5 losses to double-digit seeds (Brey, Thompson III, Boeheim, Knight, Cremins)
ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo 24m Duke has worst win pct (.692) of any top-3 seed in NCAA Tournament over last 10 seasons among teams that played 10+ games as top-3 seed
ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo · 22m ago Duke is the only team in NCAA Tournament history with 5 losses to double digit seeds as a top 3 seed.
Duke is the 5th team to lose twice as a top-3 seed in the Round of 64, joining Arizona, Georgetown, Missouri and South Carolina. ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo · 42m ago Duke upset by Mercer. Duke now has losses to 11, 15 and 14 seeds since 2007.
And they had a sham national title, the injustice when they beat Baylor and the Lance Thomas issue, shows that K is overrated as a coach at this stage of his career and if it wasn't 8-5 most nights the guy's teams would generally fall into the above average but not great category.
