Just in case anyone thinks that ESPN is not biased for Duke!

There was never any doubt in my mind. I've been following UK faithfully since retiring from the Air Force in 1977, and nothing has changed in the love affair between espn and dook.

It appears that ciach K and Duke can do no wrong in the eyes of ESPN. Sickenin!

Oh dear God. I actually started reading that drivel. I may never forgive you for posting that link, Handy.

My eyes! MY EYES! Cut them out and cast them into the fire!

ESPN is definitely in love with Duke and have been for decades. All that being said, this years Duke team is far better than the over hyped and over rated Zion led team from last year. That team last year played one perfect game last year in the first game of the season against UK and lived off of that hype all year long and Zion's dunking highlights.

Unfortunately, I think Coach K gets another title in another down year for College Basketball. Similar to the 2010 Duke Championship team.
