After seeing how VCU just took over the game against GMU last weekend for the CAA, it surprises me not.

Your bracket being trash by the end of the tournament: ~$40
Salary of Coach K: $1.5 Million
Salary of VCU coach: $275,000
Duke's bus fair home: $(A lot)

DUKE LOSING IN THE FIRST ROUND GAME: PRICELESS

*Hearing chants of OVERRATED!*

Don't be so sure... at least in two of my brackets, I picked VCU to win.

Did anybody but me catch the condescention from Kevin Harlan early in the game..."It must be a thrill for these kids from VCU to be playing a powerhouse program like Dook in the tournament." STFU, the CAA has put a team in the Final Four more recently than Dook (or the ACC for that matter)

Yeah, it was really pissing me off how the commentators were making a bigger deal of it than it actually was. I saw how VCU won the CAA tournament, and I had seen them play George Mason at GMU earlier this season. There's a reason I picked VCU to win that game in most of my entries--they really are that good. Sadly, for the commentators, they're not actually following basketball--they're usually just following the rest of the media's reports about basketball.

Duke was lucky to get a #6 seed. Duke was given either the toughest or second-toughest #11 seed (second only to Winthrop this year...maybe). Duke got what they deserved. But at least Coach K was classy about it--even as a Maryland fan, it's things like that that make me respect Coach K as a person.

Well, I guess national commentators can be that clueless. VCU had the most conference wins in league history, and Byko and I pretty much saw how they dismantled Mason earlier this season (hooray free tickets for faculty or staff that night). Considering that Duke had some issues holding off Mason at bay when GMU played at Cameron, I had my misgivings that they could hold off a much more solid group of guards that VCU had.

Of course, this is another example of the low standards to which Duke is held. For most programs, not sending a goon out to break the opposing power forward's nose and not accusing the refs of being part of a conspiracy against you are just expected behavior when you lose. When Duke decides, in every other loss, not to do those things, it's "classy."

I am sure that J.J. Reddick would have an appropriate verse for the occasion.

Alas, Matt Weiner just controlled the pace of the game as he dominated the middle.

Well, I had picked VCU to win. I also had them in my sweet sixteen, but a fat lot of good that did me.

Apparently you're unaware of Coach K's multiple recruiting violations or ridiculous treatment of coworkers.

If I get diagnosed with a terminal illness, I'm heading over to Duke with a chemical weapon strapped to my back.
