The Goat Pen

There's no question that Zion is a once in a generation talent and, thanks to LeBron going straight to the league, he's undoubtedly the greatest college player I've ever seen. But Duke was not a great team. Barrett is good, maybe great, but for all the talk about how great Tre Jones and Cam Reddish were, it just wasn't true. As for the rest of them, didn't they have one of their dudes who was supposed to be a 3 point assassin who didn't hit one motherfucking 3 in like 6 weeks?? They weren't frauds and they didn't suck, but they were not a great team, and it's laughable to think they are amongst the greatest college teams of alltime. Duke this year was Zion, that's all they'll be remembered for. And now Zion and Barrett are going to the NBA and won't think about Duke again ever. "Brotherhood." Bullshit...

It's nice to see that the UNC fans have licked their wounds and are finally back now that Duke lost. Except goldie of course. He probably got grounded again.

funny because UNC was overrated too

I guess UK was too...

Florida wasn't. They were underrated bitches. It stings less.

I've said it before, a lot of this Duke hype was UK's fault. The ass raping Duke gave them on national TV is what opened the floodgates. If UK had even kept that game respectable Zion would've still been making the highlight reels with his dunks, but nobody would've thought they were invincible as a team. But Duke did ass rape UK on national TV, nobody is ever going to forget that game. Luckily, the rest of the good teams Duke played didn't just bend over and grab their ankles and beg Duke to fuck them in the ass harder, like UK did...

I had already forgotten about that game until just now.

Wait. This ass raping was almost 5 months ago in early November? HEH.

Rare cogent point by Hedge. All the Duke players were the same skill set. A team full of forwards.

we were the 7th best team coming in

we'll leave the 7th best team going out give or take

UNC's whole #1 seed was based on beating Duke without Zion and as the #3 team in the tourney you made it to the sweet 16 and lost to an SEC team
congrats.

UNC was never ranked $1 this season, much less proclaimed the best team in the country by nearly everyone

nope, no one would ever think that losing by 21 to Louisville at home.
but they were still overrated

This ESPN inspired ACC bias has to stop. Its ruining college basketball

Won't argue with that point but most of it goes to dook. UK used to be the flavor of the day but then they started losing recruits to dook.

The ACC “bias” isn’t nearly as bad as the SEC bias in football

We were in for like $100 each on the bracket pool, right?

Crow is paying mine

CameronFaggot, where are you now, you cunt bitch?

I'm here, fartknocker. Maybe they didn't teach you reading comprehension at that fake UNC class you took with the UNCheat FB and hoops teams, but like I said regardless of what happened tonight, Duke had success this season that the choking Holes could only envy: ACC Tournament Title (including a win over your boys) and a trophy in the case, making it to the Elite Eight and not getting ass-rammed in the Sweet 16. #1 seed my ass! I wouldn't trade our season for the underachieving-ass team you and your butt buddies Saint and Hedge pull for. Wallow in your deserved misery!

I won't argue the SEC has bias in football. Clemson is changing that.

what Duke has proved is that OAD in college basketball is a farce

If you land the top 3 players and still can't make it to the final four , much less the tournament championship then OAD is no better approach than developing a veteran team by starting off with 3 and 4 star guys and building them up.

UK in 2012 had 2 great OAD players but also had sophomore Doron Lamb and Terrence Jones, along with senior and Kentucky Mr. Basketball Darius Miller

UK in 2015 had an incredible team and still got taken out by a veteran Wisconsin team, paving the way for Duke to pull their horseshit

I think that last sentence is what's got eCat and the rest of the UK fans so riled. End of the day, neither UNC, UK nor Duke made the FF, much less sniffed an NC this year. Talk all you want about who was "overrated" or over-seeded or whatever, it means literally nothing. We all shit the bed when it counted, 6 months from now (much less 6 years and beyond) nobody is going to remember jackshit about this season except that it wasn't a FF appearance for any of us...

I'm sure envy is part of it

but there was no logic to putting UNC as a #1 seed other than ACC bias. You had identical records to UK, UK beat you in the head to head , and you didn't win the ACC regular season - at least not outright or the ACC tourney. All UNC did was beat Duke twice without Zion in like a 10 day period - that is literally all UNC did.

Couple that with UNC getting a free pass the largest cheating scandal in the history of college basketball and the likelihood that Duke bought Zion and it gets old

especially when its reinforced in the tournament that the ACC is overrated.
