I think that Cameron Indoor was one of those old relics that has some serious flaws and is outclassed in many ways compared to more modern facilities, but it is tailor-made for basketball and the fan atmosphere is always top notch. I don't think you should say Duke has "unbelievable facilities" - they have unbelievable fan support, but you have to separate that factor and not ignore the reality that their home arena isn't all that - it's kind of like the Wrigley Field of college basketball.
I don't understand the inclusion of Gonzaga - the writer says "we had to put a mid-major in here somewhere" as the justification for the pick. That is some horrible logic. I don't think many coaches would rather be at Gonzaga if they had a choice between them and the likes of Washington, Illinois, and Pitt.
