Tournament brackets

[Hawks Coach]

Why did a team with so many loses remain in the top 5 anyway?

All but one of their losses were to ACC teams, one each to NC ST, Wake, G tech, and MD, all of hwhom are in, and deserve to be in, the Top 25. They beat 5 tournament teams outside the ACC, and beat each of the above teams at least once. Name another quality conference that plays a double round robin. Oops, there isn't one.

Duke lost one game outside of conference, went 13-3 in the toughest conference in the country (especially given you get every team twice), and lost an overtime tournament game. Again, I hate Duke, like nothing better than to see them lose, but I recognize success when I see it.

Name one other team that has consistently justified it's #1 seed.
