The last couple of years Duke has lost in heart-breaking games. Either close to the end of the tournament or early on like this year. Last year they lost to LSU in the Elite 8 this year in the first round to VCU. Why? They're good enough to go far and do well and they do well in the season but why?

Because they are Duke and everyone hates them, They also have their share of wins in those heartbreaking games.

wow. what an ignorant question. Its pronounced as RPI Duke has NO losses outdoors the coolest 50 and there greatest loss this season replaced into via 12 to a 4th seed maryland. they seem to be a superb 10 group in the RPI. The ACC have been given the main bids and has the toughest convention this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. of direction they deserve the 6th seed, anticipate to work out them disillusioned PItt in around 2 then post a combat against UCLA. UCLA is in all risk to win that brackett tho. Duke purely needs to get warm and that they have got the expertise. they are not at all out of a interest and communities nevertheless concern them even in a mediocre season at superb. next 3 hundred and sixty 5 days Duke is a lock for a superb seed and a superb 3 in the ACC so next time you ask a dumba$$ question do somewhat diagnosis first BUD!!!

Actually Duke wasn't good enough this year. alot of people believe the only reason the ygot in the tourney is beacuae they are Duke. VCU beating them was not a suprise. Last year LSU was just the better team, I was at that game. They have slipped the last 3-4 years.

Know your history dude, Laettner, and the Dukies also have won close NCAA tournament games in the past. That is why they have been to Final Fours so many times. Laettner hit that last second miracle shot to beat Kentucky.

Maybe they have bad karma from taking too much money from the tobacco companies.
