Bilas is really struggling with the whole concept of an ACC Tournament Champion being seeded lower than a team that the ACC Tournament Champion beat en route to winning the ACC Tournament.

He wasn't paying attention to the UK-Texas A&M thing last year........ or maybe he just assumed that that kind of thing only happens to the SEC.

I like him as a color commentator and his analysis is normally solid, but he let his dukie ties lead him astray here... I wish he would let those who aren't so close to a single program do their jobs and him stick to his. I still like him, but he took a misstep here.

He's turned into a real asshat. Or maybe he's not as good at hiding it now that he's older.

Amazing the mourning CBS did for Duke.. Like they got left out all together or have to play WSU and UCLA to get to the Elite8..

The irony about this is how Duke fans for years have complained about Bilas. He has always tended to take the pro-UNC stance, both with their teams and with their off the court problems. (He acted like a personal agent for PJ Hairston during his suspension.)

To be honest I've always kind of had a "yea right" thought at all the Bilas love here and elsewhere. Now all of a sudden he is sternly making a pro-Duke argument on something and he's immediately thrown away all this collateral and good will that he had built up.

I didn't care for him then or now.

He had a weak argument and tried his best. He should feel blessed they got a 2. They were the 3rd strongest 2 by the committee. His whining may have helped them over that hump.

It sounded like he was upset with their bracket - getting into the same bracket with Nova, the overall #1 seed.
