Was Villanova the best team in 85? NC State the best team in 83? Kansas in 88? No, but they found a way to win. luck has very little to do with it.
I saw every game of the ACC tourney and I can assure you that Maryland did not win because they were lucky.

You continously talk about the Big Ten ACC challenge and how it was 2-7. Yet later you try to defend Maryland by saying even though they were bad durring league play, the are playing their best basketball right now. What if the several of the Big Ten teams struggled the week of the Big Ten ACC challenge? So they lose and it ends up 2-7. But the season goes on and they begin to play better and become much better teams. On one hand you say that you can not judge how good a team is on their confrence record, a mark established over 2 months. But on the other hand you judge the Big Ten on what happned in a single week.
You say Maryland is playing their best basketball at this time of the season. So because they are playing so well they jump up to a 4 seed. Ok. Well then where does this leave mighty Duke? When you go 6-4 in you last 10 games that does not sound like you are playing very good basketball. But then the brackets come out and what a suprise. Maryland gets judged in their last week of play, while Duke does not. Why you ask? Because the ACC is being favored.
