being in a position where they are.

Of course, they've kind of improved quite a bit from last year, but do you think in your mind that the ACC, A, is getting the credit it deserves, and B, will that come back to affect Duke's seeding when we talk about one seed of the tournament, should we get to that point?

And when you think, yeah, and I think, you know, when you think about the one seed line as of right now, and we're recording this, they haven't released the top, you know, the top four seeds that they do a month out.

I expect that Duke would be one seed.

And the question is basically going to be between Duke and UConn for that Eastern regional.

I think there are the two teams that are kind of.

locked in or at least competing to be the one seed in that particular region.

So maybe it's a question of ACC versus Big East.

I think the ACC is there, but, of course, I'm biased.

What do you think?

we're not going to erase Miami of Ohio from this, from this equation, since they're the last undefeated team, but I digress.

I, you know, let's get back to Duke because I think one of the things that's come up lately has been the second half ruts that they're in and whether they overcome those or not, of course, that's most of the time they've done that save for the game against UNC.

But what do you think is the answer?

If there is an answer for Duke figuring out how to,

not have these ruts in the second half that allow teams that are you know of those teams that we just spoke about if we were able to face them to have an opportunity to come back and it bite us in the end i think we have to be careful not trying to draw too many um patterns out of a small sample size right so like

I don't think it's the right way to lose, but we've talked on the show.

We even talked last year, Jordan, when you were on about not having a lot of these close games and the idea that that would come back to haunt us in the end.

And in a way it did, but it wasn't a pattern, right?

And for me, I've always said I want us to blow every team out by 40 because that's fun.

And I don't have to worry about the question about
