Suck they might, but I'd be shocked if they dropped a game to that shitsquad in Durham.

Did you even watch the Indiana game? UK was struggling to keep up the entire second half.

Some guy writes something, speaks for entire fanbase. GOT IT.

Also, the best part of this thread is this comment:

So unc beats the 48th ranked team (Long Beach St, sagarin) by 6, and they "fekkin suck".

Duke beats the 78th ranked team (Washington, sagarin) by 6, and they don't?

For the record, both teams are ranked nearly identically in the kenpom (which, for my money, is the far superior algorithm).

Very convenient that you'd call the rankings that have xh ahead of Duke "far superior," yet you cite Sagarin instead of Pomeroy. Wonder why that is? Oh, yeah, because Pomeroy says:

Washington: 45
Long Beach State: 47

Why would you use Sagarin's rankings if you think Pomeroy is "far superior"? Oh, that's right:

Washington: 45
Long Beach State: 47

You moron, that's why I included it in the post, for thoroughness.

The point still remains that both teams played nearly identically against identical teams. But unc sucks because of it, according to you.

According to the "far superior" rankings, the better team (kenpom says xh) lost to a worse team. You said it yourself.

Also, if you watched both games, you'd know that Duke's 6-point win =/= xh's 6-point win.

Now we're counting wins as losses? You must have lost your mind.

Also, to use my very favorite Bill Parcells quote "You are what you are".
