Message: [QUOTE="Travelman6, post: 2106456, member: 7597"] I couldn't even wait until the final buzzer! Bye Duke!! At least the ride home is not too long :). Duke has now lost five times since 2007 to lower seeds that were at least 5 seeds or lower than them. VCU as an 11 beat them in 2007, WVirginia (7 seed) in 2008 beat them when they were a 2 seed. In 2011 they lost to a 15 and in 2014 they lost to a 14, as a 3 seed. Now, they just lost to a 7 again, just like in 2008. Today South Carolina played lights out in the second half even with some questionable calls in the last 5 minutes, everything was falling for them. I don't think they will have a half like that again any time soon. Also, it always makes March Madness so much better when Duke goes down before the sweet 16! I think they have more loses to teams seeded 5 or lower than Uconn has (Uconn lost to a 10, 11 and 13, that I know but I think those are it at least in recent memory). ACC is now a terrible 7-8 with only UNC left to carry the flag after they ESCAPED vs Arkansas. btw, one of my favorite Duke games ever, (well 3rd behind 77-74 in 1999 and 79-78 in 2004): [URL="http://www.espn.com/ncb/recap/_/gameId/400546931"]Mercer vs. Duke - Game Recap - March 21, 2014 - ESPN[/URL] [/QUOTE]
