Why Hate Reddick?

Don't care what you think.

Washington deserved their #1.

They won the conference tournament(I know Duke did also), they consistently beat good ranked teams, and they had a very good RPI.

Duke's RPI and SOS are just as good as Washington's, they won a higher ranked conference's tourney, their record against teams in the tourney is better than washington's. Once again you know nothing about college basketball.

Gee you're not biased at all being a Duke fan and all. Give me a break.

DUKE lost to VIRGINIA TECH.

DUKE lost to Maryland TWICE.

They split their games against UNC and Wake.

Washington played a harder OOC schedule.

By the way, Syracuse never lost to an unranked opponent this season. How many games has Duke lost to unranked opponents? 3?

As I said above, I'm really, really, going to enjoy the SU-Duke game. A lot of analysts have picked SU over Duke and I agree with them.

all that matters now is the tourney. syracuse 5-6 against tourney teams, duke 9-2.

The Syracuse team playing now is not the same Syracuse team that finished out the regular season.

The sophomores are contributing a lot more and if you think that Duke is going to walk over Syracuse then you are kidding yourself. Syracuse is going to give them the game of their lives.

Duke deserves there seat, bottom line. I hate Duke because i am a (GA) Tech fan, but they are one hell of a team. Look at their schedule, they dont play sissy-ass teams, the ACC is brutal. As far as Reddick goes, i dont see how you could possibly like this guy, every time i hear him speak his arrogance sickens me. If you listen to what he says after a game he is usually saying someting about how if player X stepped up then they may not have been in such and such a situation. This is not what basketball is about, he expects everyone on his team to shoot and be clutch in every situation. Vitale just adds to his over-rating, Reddick doesnt realize how much his surrounding players mean his success, if he was on a team w/o talent he would never see a look outside thus rendering him useless.

People hate him because he plays for Duke, a ton of people hate Duke, and he is one sick ass shooter.

I hate Dook, but have no problems with Reddick. Of course I don't even hate Christian Laettner, so apparently I pretty tolerant of well-hated Dookies. For perspective, I don't care for anyone else in the Dook top 7 or 8.

Ty Shajen, I have nothing but love for Reddick. Especially cause he's so damn cute [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Oh, and did I mention he's a great shooter [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

After what JJ did in the final twenty seconds of last year's Final Four game against Connecticut (turned the ball over with Duke down one and nearly airballed an open three with Duke down three), I don't hate him at all.

As for why most people hate Duke, Clark nailed it. It's Dick Vitale and a bunch of other guys in sports media. Last year's Xavier v Duke regional final is a perfect example. Chris Duhon scores a whopping six points with (gasp!) a couple of bruised rips and Vern Lundquist exclaims "What a player!! What a man!!". A Xavier player would have needed to pour in 30 with a compound fracture of his femur to generate that type of man-love.
