Not only does Duke not have a first-teamer, they don't even have anyone on the second or third teams this year. Anybody know when the last time that happened was?

1990. That was the year after the Danny Ferry years and right before the Hurley, Laettner, Hill triumverate.

Im not sure when the last time that was but this has been a horrible year for Duke, they broke pretty much every streak they had going. But they are still Duke so any officials or announcers will treat them like gods. Why do you think when they dropped out of the rankings after 5 or 6 straight losses that it only took 2 wins against medocre teams to get all the way back up to #14??? No other team in the NCAA gets away with playing that bad.

Ryan, get a grip, then get your facts straight. First of all Duke didn't lose 5 or 6 games in a row, it was 4. Then they went on to beat BC (who was ranked 21 at the time) at BC and then GT at Cameron. When they returned to the top 25, it wasn't at 14, but rather 18. The rankings are not just about an individual teams performance, it is also about what the other teams do as well. Why don't you take a look at was was happening in basketball at the end of February (who won/who lost) before declaring preferential treatment. Down year or not, Duke will always be Duke and there will always be haters. We take it as a compliment though because the best teams are ALWAYS hated by the masses. Notre Dame, The Yankees, etc, etc, etc....
