Duke had more quality wins in it's Title Run.<br /><br />Format is:<br />Opponent, Seed, Margin of Victory <br />Duke 2010<br />UConn 2011<br /><br />Round 1<br />Ark P-B, #16, 29<br />Bucknell, #14, 29<br />Edge: Neither. Duke played a lower seed because Duke earned it by having a better year. The starters were resting early. Both games were laughers against cupcakes.<br /><br />Round 2<br />California, #8, 15<br />Cincinnati, #6, 11<br />Edge: Equal again. Similar opponents, similar RPIs and records. Duke again earned the right to play a lower seed, but beat them slightly worse too. No real conclusions to draw.<br /><br />Round 3<br />Purdue, #4, 13<br />San Diego St, #2, 7<br />Edge: UConn. This is the one round where UConn had a more respectable win than Duke. Not by a ton though. If you remember, last year Purdue was a powerhouse, and they only got the low seed after losing a player to injury. UConn this year beat an Aztecs team that was playing basically on their home court. San Diego had a well rounded squad with a few legit star players and a great RPI and record. Kemba and Co. outmatched them and outclassed the smaller school in an impressive victory.<br /><br />Round 4<br />Baylor, #3, 7<br />Arizona, #5, 2<br />Edge: Duke. Duke played a Baylor team loaded with talent. Played them in Texas. Won by 7. Nolan had 29 and Scheyer had 20. This year, UConn beat a mediocre Arizona team that was coming down from one of the best shooting performances in a decade (the prior game against Duke). UConn barely held on to beat Arizona by 2 points in a game that easily could have gone either way in which Arizona missed not one-- but TWO would-be game-winning wide open 3-point attempts in the final seconds.<br /><br />Final 4:<br />West Virginia, #2, 21<br />Kentucky, #4, 1<br />Edge: Duke. Duke absolutely dismantled a red-hot West Virginia team that had an amazing regular season and had just shredded a Kentucky team with 5 first round NBA picks on it. UConn this year beat a young, turnover prone, streaky Kentucky team by 1 point in another game that could have went either way. UConn didn't play great. Kentucky just went ice cold to finish with only 55 points on 33% shooting to give UConn the game.<br /><br />Finals:<br />Butler, #5, 2<br />Bulter, #8, 12<br />More of a quality win: Duke. Duke won a game played literally blocks from Butler's campus. Duke beat Butler when it was the first real Cinderella the NCAA had given people to root for in a few years. Duke beat a strong Butler team at their peak when they played a good game. UConn got the victory against a weaker Butler squad while benefiting from the fact Butler played one of the worst games in the history of the Final Four from an offensive perspective.<br /><br />UConn this year had a far more favorable Road to the NCAA Title than Duke had last year, with less impressive wins against easier opponents overall. UConn squeaked through a couple games they easily could have lost and benefited from unusually off nights by opposing teams in more than one round.<br /><br />I'm not trying to say UConn didn't deserve it. I'm not saying they didn't earn it. I believe more than anyone that a win is a win and you play whoever is put in front of you, advance and prove it on the court. I'm just saying I don't want to hear haters saying Duke's run in 2010 was easy anymore because UConn's 2011 was easier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974487880746995076.post-75113197910392677462011-04-05T17:57:18.117-04:002011-04-05T17:57:18.117-04:00And why does something have to be a parody of some...And why does something have to be a parody of something to be funny?

I've had this conversation with my buddies about 15 times where they try and tell me how lucky Duke was to win the championship last year because Butler missed the shot. In the conversation I over and over and over again explain to them that BUTLER would have been the lucky team to have made the prayer of a shot instead. I point out how he could shoot the half court shot 40 more times (think NBA All-Star Weekend celebrity shootout) and probably still hit the rim a bunch but likely not make the shot. Duke was not lucky he missed, he was lucky he didn't just airball it. (And that they got away with the illegal/flagrant screen on Singler to even get it off) Amen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974487880746995076.post-15905375201598517642011-04-05T16:49:09.727-04:002011-04-05T16:49:09.727-04:00fish.fish.sanfransoxfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058097803996671735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974487880746995076.post-19692747911408760322011-04-05T15:14:01.391-04:002011-04-05T15:14:01.391-04:00This was brilliant.
