Dick Vitale just said the Big Ten is the #1 conference in the NCAA's.

Duke did have a tough schedule, so i think they are in the conversation for a 1, but if Miami wins the both the ACC regular season and tournament, they get the #1. Duke has only lost 1 game with Kelly back in the lineup.

I think Gonzaga can still fall to the 2 line.

Indiana
Louisville
Miami or Duke
Kansas or Gonzaga
 
He is right on both occasions, but if Miami wins the regular and conference tournament of the ACC they make a better case than Duke. The committee does take injuries into account, but it is Duke...Plumlee kind of disappeared when Kelly went out and that shouldn't happen.

If you can make the excuse of not having Kelly, then look at Miami, they have lost just two games with Durand Scott in the lineup and he missed the Florida Gulf Coast game that people talk about because of NCAA issues. When he came back in the lineup they have played very well and are just as deserving as Duke. They beat MSU when nobody expected them too. It is all a moot point if they lose against the Paigeheels today. Larkin was not the player he was until Scott came back into their lineup.
