Seth Davis' Hoops Thoughts (Preacher K)

[SelectionSunday]

Some good snippets here. Seth is dead on, especially, about Coach K's "sermon" regarding conference realignment and conference challenges:

"Speaking of Duke, I disagree with Coach K's argument that because of conference realignment, we should do away with events like the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. I understand the disappointment of having your league raided, but the ACC didn't seem to feel too badly when it poached Syracuse, Pitt, Louisville and Notre Dame from the Big East. I also understand the challenge of going from a 16-game to an 18-game schedule because your league is adding teams. Still, not only do these made-for-TV challenges produce high-level matchups, they produce big-time games that are played on campus, which is becoming an increasingly rare occurrence this time of year."

My guess is that once North Carolina is in the Big 10 they will be matched up with Duke annually in the Big 10/ACC Challenge.
