Wow - Duke was given a bracket with a #2 seed (Nova) that lost 6 of its last 10, a #3 seed (Baylor) that hasn't won a tourney game in 60 years, and a #4 seed (Purdue) that lost its best player and has played like an NIT team since. Meanwhile Kansas has to deal with Ohio St, Georgetown, and Maryland, and Kentucky's got W Virginia, New Mexico, and Wisconsin.
They also got seeded over a Syracuse team with a better record in a better league, because Duke squeaked by 3 sub-.500 teams in the ACC tournament, and Cuse lost to a 3 seed (G'Town) who was in the Top 10 all year but finished 8th in the league because their best wing missed a couple weeks with diabetes.
Somebody up there sure likes those Dukies...
