I wonder if people actually follow college basketball or just repeat what their favorite ESPN analyst says. From the 2nd round to the championship, Duke didn’t play a team outside of the top 16 in the final Pomeroy rankings or outside the top 20 in the final RPI rankings. Please find me another team with this tough of a draw:<br /><br />Cal–15 in Pomeroy, 20 in RPI<br />Purdue–16, 16 (probably a bit high without Hummel)<br />Baylor (practically a road game)–6, 9<br />WVU (the team that should’ve gotten the other #1 seed, right?)–8, 4<br />Butler–12, 12<br /><br />I'm pretty sure you won't 'approve' this comment, because it might require some leg work for you to refute my points. Have a great day.Ridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427896745514125947noreply@blogger.com
