No dude. Not cool.
Not to mention Duke got Bull[censored] calls all game. Little ticky tack fouls. They don't EVER call that crap in the B10. Ohio State would smash Duke. I hope we get the 2 seed in their region.
They call that "crap" everywhere...don't pretend like that doesn't happen in the B10 as well.
...and it's all a matter of how you watch a game...
...if you want Duke to lose, you see all the calls they get, if you want them to win, you see all the calls they don't get...
That's basketball...
...if anything teams like Duke, Kansas, UK, UNC, and the likes get reputation calls against them more than most teams, but that's another discussion...
As for thinking Ohio State would "smash" Duke, I'd be careful with that assessment. 1-3 they match up pretty evenly, though Evan is a huge over on Jon, but after the guards Duke out-rebounds, out-freethrows and out-hustles anyone on the Buckeye roster. They've got 5 "bigs" that would be starters on just about anyone's team. (not to mention 3 former "bigs" that transferred and ARE currently starters on other teams)
Ohio State still has some persuading to do to the committee to ensure they get one of the top 2 "2 seeds". If they beat Minnesota handily, you might get your wish...
I still think it'll be Duke/WVU in the West...and I'm pretty sure Ohio State won't get seeded way out there in Salt Lake City if they secure the second #2 seed.
