I cant believe that DUKE lost in the first round... They havent lost in the first round for centurys. If some people were more careful...( no names).. They would have won that game

Duke and VCU was not really an upset...Big schools are overated and little schools are underated...the current Oaklahoma coach coached at VCU last year.Duke should not have been a 6'th seed.You know, they asked John Calipeeree(don't know how to spell his name,Coach for Memphis!) how many teams from the ACC would get in, he said if Duke was 6'th 6 would if they were 7'th 7 would if they were 8'th 8 would if they were 9'th 9 would so on...

Honestly, as sorry as the Duke team was this year, it really was not an upset. The two teams were evenly matched which proves that Duke was ranked too high at # 6. Duke should have been ranked at about 10th or 11th in my opinion and last night they played that way.

I don't really think it was an upset cause Duke isn't playing like Duke. VCU will get to the Sweet 16 and that'll be that.

It wasn't much of an upset if you ask me. It was total politics that those losers were seeded 6th. If anything they should have been a 10-12 seed. Or they shouldn't have made the tourney at all like Syracuse who had a very comparible record, strength, Q wins, but a little lower RPI. And even after the committee paved the way with a 6 seed and a crap bracket they still got their a sses handed to em. My friday has been great!

It wasn't really an upset, because Duke shouldn't have been ranked as high as they were. Their record in the ACC, and their exit from the ACC tournament should tell you that.

I think it is good for college basketball when a little guy or mid conference major upsets one of the big boys . Remember George Mason last year and Virginia commonwealth is in the same conference. Take notice Pitt or you could be next.
