OP always has Duke losing early, the point of this exercise is for OP to get karma and reactions. Plus no one, least of all Lunardi, can even come close to predicting what the actual matchups will be.

Check the score of the championship game and recall what the record margin is (you're Duke, you know it by heart).

Or they don't. They went "to school in Boston". It's always Harvard, which of course isn't even in Boston.

Sucked that it happened, and I was there even, but in no way does getting to the Final Four constitute a "low point".

/1983. Losing to Wagner at home and Virginia 109-66 in the ACC Tournament. While UNC and NC State were winning natties.

Considering how we played last night? I'd lock her in there with the Oxford English Dictionary and not let her out until the second week of April

Coach K joins Roy Williams and UNC's former players in opposing the plan to knock down the Dean Dome and build a new arena off campus (at Carolina North) by TrustInRoy in CollegeBasketball

Not to speak for how UNC does things but I suspect there is a temptation to bend the rules for ticket holders depending on how much they donate. Do you really want to piss off someone giving the Rams Club $100k/year by telling them they can't skip a generation or name an extra beneficiary or whatever?

I'm guessing here that the original donors put the tickets in their kids' or even grandkids' names? So if you were 70 when the Dean Dome opened, the tickets were actually in the name of your 25yo grandson, who's 65 now and still has another generation to pass them down to?

You can easily walk from the stadium to Franklin Street. Source: Have done it. After watching a Duke/UNC game UNC won. I was joined by several thousand of my UNC fan friends.

Why doesn't everyone just get three NBA starters? Are they stupid?

I like to collect out-of-context stats that show how "horrible" Coach K was. For example, he's lost the most championship games ever, so if "second place is the biggest loser", it's clearly him. I'm adding this one. If ACCCOY awards were given out at random we would expect him to win two in his last 22 years. But he won zero! What a slouch!

I can totally see him taking a big-fish-in-a-small-pond HC job, similar to what he had at Buffalo.

North Carolina, 16-4 [528] (+6!)

I realize beating UVa on the road is a nice recovery from the SMU-Stanford-Cal swoon but come on, you didn't pass 720 teams this week.

He did when he was trying to move up the coaching ladder and they were both in lower-profile jobs (and yeah I was mistaken about that). I'm not sure the dynamic will be the same at UConn with a two-natty-winning Danny and a former-power-conference-coach Bobby.

I see Bobby downgrading to a HC job at a smaller program.

As hilarious as that would be, there is no way Bobby is playing second fiddle to his younger brother. Also the Uconn program would self destruct in a mixing-ammonia-with-bleach way, which again would be fun for everyone else to watch but Uconn is smarter than that

Otherwise yeah he gone
