Fair warning: The "worst case" is downright nauseating. Really. I'd almost say read the entire article except for his worst case for Duke.
One of my many vices during tourney time. Although Forde loves to take quick jabs at Duke (I've come to the stage where I smile when I read them rather than throwing a tantrum), the article is a fun read. Enjoy!

At least with the UNC scenario, he calls out KM for having the ball on his hip the entire game.
It blows my mind that he finds time to write all that. Has he done nothing productive since Sunday night?

I think it is quite humorous. I read last year's as well and he said much of the same things... And we know how that turned out

Quite funny. Ridiculous but funny! The BYU best/worst is a riot.
Forde can amend Purdue's to read that the 6th man gets into an encounter with a starting guard and gives him a concussion. Matt Painter suspends him for "violation of team rules" and Purdue must play St Peter's (ironic name) with only one experienced guard.
So Purdue now playin without 3 of its top 7 players from beginnoing of season.

A major quibble with Mister Forde's prognosis of Duke's worst case scenario - Nolan Smith will never be tired in a college game. Never.

I know he's going for humor, but wouldn't Dukes best case scenario have them not getting a single call the entire tournament, but still winning. Guys from other teams are doing stuff that would get most players ejected, but the refs let it all go anyway. Meanwhile, Duke gets called for a foul every time someone is within six inches of a player. It gets so bad, that there is absolutely no one who could possibly think that there was any kind of conspiracy. With all of this going on, Duke still has to face it's toughest road, and wins every game by 30, leaving everyone to ponder where this team (with Irving) ranks in historical terms.
His schtick wasn't a whole lot different last year.

Yawn. He forgot to mention Ashley Judd in the Kentucky comment this year though. Maybe his editors made him stop.
