Good lord. Literally presented with facts, and shown years where Duke got crappy runs, and says it is nonsense and spin.

No, you want to know what is biased nonsense and spin?

A bitter Kentucky fan insisting there is some massive conspiracy that seems to benefit only a single school that Kentucky fans hate, and it is not only operated by dozens of people unconnected to that school (and in most cases directly opposed to that school) but has also somehow remained behind the scenes, without anyone ever admitting to it or anything.

Greatest secret conspiracy in history.

I don't know how you succeed at all, what with the entire NCAA and and all the refs and all the ADs and officials at other schools actively working against you so much, especially considering how much they work for Duke. I can't wait for the big blockbuster story where someone finally comes out and admits they were part of it. Will literally be the biggest corruption story in sports history.



*sigh*

Want to argue UK was maybe under seeded? Sure, go ahead, I might agree actually. But denying when people show you when Duke has tough seeds, ignoring that Duke has a total of one non-tourney loss compared to what... Five for UK...? Complaining about Duke not winning a league which would have put eight teams into the tournament if it wasn't for some hookers? Insisting there is some vast, multi-limbed conspiracy literally covering hundreds of people in a dozen different organizations, including many whose day to day job involves beating other teams, including Duke, all while insisting that anyone who DOESNT see it is some reality-denying blind person... It just seems so homer and so... Well, for lack of a "kinder" word, delusional.
This isn't a conspiracy our fans believe for one. It's not a conspiracy when it's true. The conspiracy would be that the committee doesn't give Duke favorable draws, when they in fact do. For one. Coach cal went on ESPN the other day and said the committee plays favorites and dislike's. This isn't the fans who believe this. This is the head coach of the university of Kentucky that I'm 100% sure knows more about the selection committee process than you do. And if he's telling the world on national TV this is what the committee does. Then bet your *** he wasn't lying. He said that the committee plays favorites (he was referring to duke). And that they screw the teams over that the committee dislike's (referring to UK getting an unfair draw on a yearly basis, and whenever we're not a 1 seed we're either 1 or 2 seeds underseeded every single year).

Straight from the horses mouth. This isn't a conspiracy UK fans choose to believe, this is a fact that the head man himself stated on national TV. He said UK gets an unfair draw every year, and that Duke gets a cake walk draw every year (look at the brackets the last 20 years and you'll notice what I'm talking about, especially the last 5-10 years, it's been a lot more blantant over recent history. Almost to the point of it being criminal). So. Look yourself in the mirror. And realize the conspiracy here is the one Duke fans believe, that they don't get favorable draws on a yearly basis. You really believe Duke deserved to be rated higher than UK especially considering UK beat Duke and that UK was ranked 5 spots higher than Duke headed into the conference tourneys that UK won and Duke lost first game? You really believe Duke desired a higher rating and a much easier draw in the NCAAT? Just pathetic. You're a piece of scum. You're the embodiment of everything that is trash in today's world. You choose to blindly ignore the facts when they're right there in front of your face. I'll bet my house that calipari knows more about the committee and there biases than you do, and if you think you know more than calipari about the selection process the committee goes thru. Then please do the world a favor. Find the highest bridge you can think of. And belly flop off of it. You piece of scum. There's already enough people in the world who make it a worse place than it is by choosing to blindly ignore the facts for there own personal satisfaction. One less person of that mold would truly be doing the world a justice.

What else do you want to convince the people here of? That maggette and Thomas didn't accept impermissible benefits, therefor making them ineligible and having wins/titles* vacated? The NCAA did the right thing by not punishing Duke? And then trying to convince us more that there isn't an NCAA bias favorable towards Duke? And let me guess you're going to use how the NCAA didn't punish Duke for impermissible benefits as your evidence that there isn't a bias favorable to Duke amongst the NCAA because that's the *** backwards life you live? If the NCAA goes to these drastic measures to protect Duke, do you really not think they instruct refs to protect Duke (example title game last season)? Well they do everything else to protect duke so why think they don't do that? That's the kind of logic you get from a dukie you all. You all have asterisks next to every title in recent history considering the banners wouldn't be there if the NCAA did there jobs. No fans outside of Duke count those national titles when thinking of Duke as a program. Coach Krybaby is as dirty of a coach as there is in college basketball, 3rd only to Roy Williams and Rick Pitino. Just because the NCAA chooses to protect his image doesn't make it not true.

if you don't think the NCAA wanted Duke/UK, you're insane....ratings and hype would have been 5times that of Duke/Wiscy...but like you alluded to, y'all might have been tired like wiscy was....

it seems, from your view, that there is NEVER a game that UK loses, or that duke wins, that isn't "rigged"

I'm looking for that asterisk......
I'll refer to my previous post aimed towards the dude that has proof of the NCAA biases favorable towards Duke. Such as how Duke didn't get in any trouble whatsoever for the whole maggette and thomas ordeals. Yup you're right. The NCAA doesn't favor Duke even though the NCAA swept 2 scandals under the rug to protect Duke and coach krybaby's titles.

Hey pious dukies... First, why are you here? No one on your board want to talk with you? Or believe you? Or appreciate the great wisdom you so clearly believe you possess? Secondly. If your up to answering a couple more questions... None of you has yet to answer why you were spared a match up with a certain #3 seed last year in the tourney? As far as player conspiracies go... What really happened with Rasheed Sulaimon and his dismissal? Lastly... Call me a UK biased fan (after all this is a UK board not a Duke board) but I, along with many in the college bball world, hope your head snapping, arm barring, leg flailing, fake flopping, dirty tripping, ref bitching team gets beat sooner rather than later even with your unwarranted 4 seeding and hand selected softest bracket. Hope that's not too confusing or seen as seeking debate re: Douche U.

I'm a UK fan but have no idea what the heck you're talking about.

The 3 seeds were Notre Dame, Iowa St, Baylor and Oklahoma

Duke was protected from Notre Dame - who had beaten them three times prior to the tourney, most recently in the ACC tourney. Notre Dame was the hottest 3 seed, and nearly beat UK. Notre Dame had Duke's number having beaten them 3 times - once by 30. That is called protection. Give the hottest 3 seed to UK - and certainly not to Duke.

Notre Dame couldn't be in Duke's region because the top 4 teams from each conference on the first four lines HAVE to go to different regions.

Its not called protection. It's called a rule that has been in the NCAA tournament procedures for years now.

No, that's called the NCAA Tournament. They're in the same conference, they were both top 4 seeds, the NCAA has always separated teams like that in the tournament, with a (very) few exceptions.

And Notre Dame beat them twice, not 3 times.

You're not helping anything by having 0 grasp of facts.

There are four regions... they could be on Duke's side of the bracket...

Actually no they couldn't have been.

Look at the seed list.........go down one by one.......teams got sent to their geographical locations after factoring in the NCAA procedures.

But my lord.....we are talking about a THREE seed here.

So the region sites were Houston, LA, Syracuse and Cleveland

The seed list was
UK
Villanova
Duke
Wisconsin

UVA
Arizona
Gonzaga
KU

Iowa St.
Baylor
Oklahoma
ND

Actually instead of going through this.......it's very simple. KU went Midwest. The second KU went midwest with us ND HAD TO BE IN THAT BRACKET. Simply because the other teams on that line are Big 12 teams and couldn't go Midwest.

Based on the rules they had no choice but to pair ND with us.

You know that game between Duke and Notre Dame that was decided by 30 points.... Duke won it.

the fact that their name is DOOK gives them 100 extra points in deciding where they play and what seeding they get

Everyone needs to understand that Answer1313, even though I do like him, is a contrarian. He literally disagrees with a majority opinion, EVERY chance he gets. We've all met these types. The NCAA committee could admit they're protecting Duke, and he'd disagree with them. Een when the evidence mounts, he still won't accept.

I'm not saying ignore him, I'm just saying keep this in mind when you debate him.

I disagree with the majority when I feel they are wrong.

I've agreed with plenty of things here as well.

The guy was saying that Duke was getting protected because they didn't put ND in their bracket. I mean come on. The guy was clearly wrong and not only me but others called him out on it as well.

I'll advise people to ignore him. Remember when he was out numbered like 200-1 on the horrible officiating of Sirmons and Adams and yet he kept coming back for more? Then the SEC agrees with UK and takes Sirmons off of UK games ......... showing who was right and who was wrong yet the wronganswer keeps on , keeping on... or at least it appears from reading people's posts reacting to him.
