	Well, you're probably the only one who remembers it like *that*.  Wake
Forest lost to (I believe) Marquette in the regional finals.  UNLV was the 4th
team, losing to UNC in the semis while Marquette beat UNC-C on a last-second
shot, with Marquette beat UNC in the final, cursing us all with Al McGuire as

	Of course, UNC-C isn't relevant, since the original question (which I

I agree with Gidi.  The disrespectful attitude is the reason I quit
playing football in junior high.  I couldn't stand having someone of
roughly 2/3 my intellect screaming at me and cursing me because he
hadn't bothered to explain what he meant.

On the other hand, the best time I've ever had associated with sport
was my soph year in undergrad when I was a walk-on on the soccer team.
The coach cared about us and respected us, and we played our guts out
for him.

Actually, this isn't much of a debate since it's after the fact -- the Big 10 may
have been the most successful league in the tournament, but 
	
	DUKE IS NUMBER 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Having beaten 3 Big 10 teams , I feel we have the right to mouth off a little (
or even a lot ).  The Fab Five may be tomorrow's stars but they got crushed by
today's stars.  Congrats to Duke for pulling it off and winning back-to-back
championships for the first time since the Wooden Era.  The team did this despite
playing poorly at times.  If we had been on fire, it could have been worse than
the title game in 1989.  Also, congrats to the players for not getting involved
in too much of the trash talk that Webber and Co. were initiating.  (Part of that
could be due the fact that our main trash talker, Laettner, sucked in the first
half).  Looking at the games had by Hurley, Grant Hill and Thomas Hill, not to
mention Cherokee Parks, we have a decent shot at going to the final four next
year.  And since it's going to be hyped a lot anyways, watch for 

	MICHIGAN AT DUKE IN CAMERON NEXT YEAR WITH THE FAB FIVE FAVORED 

and with Duke's non-conference home win streak of 70+ games on the line.

	Hold on, hold on... these are pretty strong statements here.  Even

I couldn't agree with you more.  Congratulations on your school's performance
this year.  It was hard to believe I was watching the same school that I 
saw back in the late 80's at Virginia Tech give Michigan all they could 
handle Saturday night.

Your school's program looks NOTHING like the one I used to see at VT, and 
for that, you UC fans should be mighty proud.  The smartest thing your school
did was to leave that cesspool of a conference called the Metro and join a 
REAL conference that shares tournament revenues among the various members. 
The Metro may have had some decent teams this year, but it will never realize 
any sort of national respect or following as long as it keeps its stupid 
policies that do nothing to lift up the conference as a whole.  Your school 
and Memphis State realized that, and wisely left to form something new and
better.

Just look how far the Great Midwest has come this year.  Simply amazing.  
I won't be surprised at all if the Great Midwest soon becomes one of the 
"power conferences", while the Metro keeps stumbling along, looking for 
some sort of identity and policy that treats teams as part of a conference,
not like a bunch of independents.

Yeah, when at least a dozen people are seriously injured on Duke's campus

were reported to have been hit in the head by beer bottles.

I'm *so* glad it's just a game.

Oh boy, we were 2-0 versus Purdue and Indiana was 1-1.  We were 1-1 against

Does that make us as good as Cincinnati?
I think not.  The point is that Duke SWEPT the season series against NC STATE.

I'm not even certain that a public apology is need.  Timberlake himself,when
asked about the incident, said basically that it didn't hurt him, that he
thought that Laettner wasn't trying to hurt him, and that the whole thing 
was kind of funny.  The Tech was reasonable punishment.  What Christian did
was far, far less flagrant than the fight in the SEC Tourney (between LSU and
Tennessee, if memory banks serve :).  I saw no apologies from any of the
players involved in that, and they *were* trying to hurt each other -- after
all, it came to blows.  Yes, the players involved were suspended for a game,
but still no apologies that I heard.  the reason so many people are up in
arms about the incident is because they don't like Duke or Laettner and they
are trying to make more out of the incident (crying racism, etc.) than 
should be made of it.  Did Christian excercise good judgement? Of course not.
Did he intentionally try to hurt Timberlake? Of course not.  If he had
wanted to hurt him, he would have stepped onto his face or stood on him or
something like that. Now that the finals are over, maybe this whole silly
thing will die down.

Given that UConn's Sellers was suspended for a game for a blatant foul and
given that Laettner's stomping on the Kentucky player was equally blatant, I
think it would be hypocritical of the NCAA not to suspend Laettner.  They have
plenty of time (1 week) to review the play.  But, since the NCAA probably wants
Duke to play in the final, I would bet my house that they do nothing about
this.  

Laettner is an a*****e!

Anybody have any feelings about this?
