Why doe Duke always get seeded three better than they are? Go Belmont
agreed...I hate Duke! However, I have them beating Belmont in the first round for my bracket...
I'd always give up a first round bracket game to se a hated team go down. Especially in this game because Al coached at Belmont
I agree, I hate Duke and would love to see them lose first round since I have them losing to Arizona (yup) in the second round anyway, but i don't understand how they are overseeded. They were playing for an ACC Championship alongside UNC in the last game of the regular season and possibly could have had the #1 seed that UNC had if they had beaten Clemson and then UNC in the ACC Tournament. They deserved their 2.
they are more deserving of a 2 seed than those crazies in madison

Al coached at Belmont Abbey....this is a different Belmont is my understanding
I read the foul differential in this game was something like 13-3 in favor of Duke at one point. Obviously some of that is style of play, but that's absolutely ludacris.
Neck and neck right now, tied at 58. LET'S GO BELMONT!!!
game tied w/ 9 minutes to go! Belmont is really battling out there. Going after everything.
Chico is right.

Al coached at Belmont Abbey College (NC). This Belmont is from TN.
Who cares at this point. LOSE DUKE LOSE!
I've actually been following the k-state/usc game.. always thought USC was a sliver over-rated and k-state a sliver under-rated.. especially with regards to the seedings.. turns out that seems a bit accurate.. k-state up 61-54 with 7:30 left in 2nd.. and beasely has been on the bench with foul trouble much of the game. An upset in this game will help my bracket!
watch duke/belmont now if you can... belmont up with the ball 70-69 and 48 seconds left in a timeout.. wow.. belmont score here would be HUGE.
That defender should have taken henderson's charge
Dammit.
It looks like they are trying their best to screw Belmont with this clock.
lots of places the refs swallowed their whistle in these last few seconds.. but at least they're not making a game changing call.. belmont just made a dumb inbound pass to turn it over and purposely foul duke with 2.7 seconds left... duke missed the first of a one-and-one and belmont got the rebound.. quick timeout by them with 1.7 seconds left and down by one.
Duke wins.
In summary, I hate Duke.
duke wins it.. :'(
but so does K-state over USC. ;D
belmont blew their last 3 possessions too bad.
k state can knock of uw-madison. who is going to guard Beast-ley?
These videos sum up nicely why I hate Duke... watch out for language, but the songs are hilarious.
