I don't really follow basketball, so can someone explain to me why we hate Duke? I mean, aside from the fact that they get a lot of things in their favor, I appreciate that they have a high graduation rate and represent the ACC well on the court and off. Am I missing something?

Coach K is respectable IMO, though he lost a lot of my respect when he started taking 1-and-done players. Cal is just rotten to the core and so is the UK program.

Duke represents what was once a proud, respectful and clean basketball program gone dirty.

That and they're a regular ND opponent now.

Much respect gained after listening to this Bo Ryan press conference! Hell of a coach but a better man!

This year, because they had a very easy draw. Hilariously easy. This was the only really tough team they had to play the whole tourney. That, and the one and done thing.

You can be a step above UK and still be pretty low.

Haha asking Jay Bilas and Jason Williams if they thought the officiating was questionable! GO home ESPN you're drunk!

Care to elaborate? Are they really that much different than ND football?

Honestly Bilas tells it like it is. During the UNC/Duke game at Chapel Hill at Duke playing went down the lane and threw a kick. Bilas went off about how it wasn't getting looked at.

Well he let his Duke pride get into the way of the obvious tonight. He played the homer role very well, reps to Jay Bilas!
