Selection Sunday
- Thread starter JimboSlice00
- Start date
After finishing on a 9-game win streak, a 3 seed would be reasonable.
Lunardi has
Gonzaga (9-1)
Baylor (6-4)
UConn (8-2)
Kansas St (5-5)
...as the current 3-seeds. Numbers are their last 10 games. Duke is better than a couple of those guys.

I still say we’re a 3 seed now. No lower than a 4 100%
I say a 4. A 3 is not exactly unthinkable but I don't think it will happen. Imagine the rage from people if it did though 
I think a 5 is the lowest they will go. Regardless, people are not going to want Duke in their bracket I imagine. Hope they can play well!

I’ll be shocked if we aren’t a 4. Who’s hotter than Duke right now? We are pretty clearly the best team in the ACC right now. There is not a team in the country who wants us in their bracket right now. Kansas and Purdue included.
Either way. I don’t really care. Bring on all comers. I’m not saying we are cutting down the nets and I’m not saying we are in the FF.
But I’m not saying we’re not!!

Solidly a 4 but wouldn’t be shocked if the bump
Us to a 3.
Over the last month we’re a 1

I agree Pisgah!! I think we should be a 3 seed and for the last month we have been a #1 seed! If we continue to play defense like we have for the last month, all I have to say to the rest of the teams is, you want some, come get some!!! GO DUKE!!!
OFC
In agreement with most here. Think it’ll be a 4, wouldn’t shock me to be a 3. Also. Name a team that would want to play us right now? I can’t. Not saying that means we are going to win it, but there isn’t a team we cannot beat.
4. We were ranked in the mid 20's a week ago, 3 would be top 12. That would be quite a jump. I'm hoping for 4 and a good bracket. 3 would be nice, but everyone would cry we are getting special treatment. I agree we are playing like a 2 right now but you have to consider the whole season.

Agree about Duke being a 4. But, I see a strong argument made that we should be a 3. The teams ranked ahead of us coming in, from 10 to our 21, all lost, with the exception of the game now playing with Texas A&M, and SDSU (won their conference).
Plus, Duke is on a 9 game win streak.
Yeah it’s not that big of a jump to be honest. We beat 3 top 25-30 teams depending on where Pitt was ranked (who we blew out). And on top of that who lost in their respective tourneys. So it’s not far fetched to be ranked somewhere 10-12 this week. Does it mean we get a 3, no, but it shouldn’t be lower than 4.
We have gotten no respect this year from the refs or the national press. The country thinks the ACC is a mid major conference so will give us no credit for beating 2 teams that in my opinion are at least top 15 teams.
I'm guessing the top 5th seed which might be OK since we'll end up playing the 4 seed anyhow if we keep focused and don't have a 2-19 3 pt. shooting night.

I think it’s tough to argue us not being at worst a 4.
Don’t get the 5 seed while TN gets the 4 and with a key injury. Whatever.
Clemsons bubble burst and unc who we all thought wasn’t even in the bubble conversation was among the first four out along with Clemson.
