Agree on all points. It's really only through the incredible play of Redick and the always-solid coaching of Kryzywysweksekeiseki, that Duke was as succesful as they were.
I didn't watch much SEC in the regular season, because i generally don't like SEC hoops. I know now that LSU has some incredible talent on that team, and that Florida is playing it's best basketball at the right time. Kentucky gave UCONN all they could handle, and Bama played their guts out. So.....it sure seems to me they were a pretty good league, at least at the top. Certainly better than the Big 12, which had a really down year. (Though Texas continues to impress....ugh, i hate saying that) And lets not forget the paper tiger Big 10, which had the highest average RPI of any conference, and sent ZERO teams to the sweet 16. >I don't think he collapsed but rather he ran up against an athletic team >who > was determined to do whatever it takes to stop him.
