Crazy Accomplishment

Over the course of the season and the tourney.

Duke has beaten:
8 of 15 Sweet 16 Teams (potentially 9)
5 of 7 Elite 8 (Potentially 6)
2 of 3 final Four (Potentially all 3!)

Think about that...


Feel free to merge somewhere else

I've thought about it some more every NC beats 2 of 3 Final Four teams... :P

6 of 7 if we beat MSU and Kentucky? I wonder how often that happens? Potentially the first time?

i might be wrong.....won't be the last time, but didn't they beat every #2 in the ap top 25 this year?........ wisconsin, virginia, and gonzaga and on occasion themselves

Arizona was a two at the beginning of the season for 4-6 weeks

Not if they beat UNC. That doesn't count because as Okulaja informed us, the Holes always beat themselves.

When we lost to Miami, I was resigned to this being another difficult year. I threw out any and all ideas of us being a one seed (and didn't see much hope for a two); I simply was looking forward to us playing the best with what we had and hopefully making our way at least to the Sweet Sixteen. We lost once more in the regular season, the next day Rasheed was off the team, and we never looked back. I am thoroughly enjoying this ride and loving this team.

At every step along the way, Duke has had a winning record against the remaining field.
