Zoubek started playing out of his mind, though.  Will the Plumlees do the same?  Ryan Kelly?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m so tired of hearing about the favorable draw that Duke got last year in the tournament.  I wonder if people actually follow college basketball or just repeat what their favorite ESPN analyst says.  From the 2nd round to the championship, Duke didn&#039;t play a team outside of the top 16 in the final Pomeroy rankings or outside the top 20 in the final RPI rankings.  Please find me another team with this tough of a draw:

Cal--15 in Pomeroy, 20 in RPI
Purdue--16, 16 (probably a bit high without Hummel)
Baylor (practically a road game)--6, 9
WVU (the team that should&#039;ve gotten the other #1 seed, right?)--8, 4
Butler--12, 12]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Exactly one year ago, Duke got pounded at Georgetown and the same arguments were made: not athletic enough to play with elite talent, too reliant on the 3, etc.  They were 17-4 at that point, and then when on to lose only one more game and win the title. Granted, they got a pretty favorable draw in the tournament, but there&#039;s no reason to think that they can&#039;t do it again.]]></description>
