Message: [QUOTE="Cuse_1999, post: 949343, member: 1499"] If you don't think a 5 loss Duke team can steal the 1 seed from a 3 loss Syracuse team, just go look at 2010 for reference. We had something like 6 RPI top 25 wins and Duke had like 1. We had less losses than them too. They got the 3rd #1 seed and we got the 4th #1 seed. See, they won the ACCT and even though they didn't beat a single RPI top 25 team in the ACCT they were rewarded for it. We lost in the quarters of the BET to G'Town. Committee ignored the fact that G'Town was 10th in the RPI and penalized us for losing early. The 3rd #1 seed led Duke to being matched up with an vastly overseeded #4 seed Purdue in the Sweet 16. Remember, Purdue's best player (Hummel) was hurt before the NCAAT. The name Duke simply carries a ton of weight and if they are 2-1 against us on Selection Sunday, we will get screwed [/QUOTE]
