Head to head I would say that UK and Duke got about an even draw. BUT the teams that their respective opponents had to beat causes more or less rest and pushes the team further. UK had a weak WF team but NO WAY is it close to a struggling pac 10 school to play in the second round. Either game was not even close so it is not an issue. Purdue with their 2nd leading scorer missing caught up with them and they struggled against the Blue Devils where as Cornell was an up-start club with energy but I will say it was a wash. Now in the regional final Baylor was a hard draw but they where now where close to as good of a team as WVU even without Bryant. UK played the potential 4th number one seed in as their 2 seed and Duke got to play (arguably the 2rd best 3 seed) Baylor. I know that you will disagree but I will not make a statement that Duke had a hard run to the final four.

And duke beat that team that you say was worthy of a 1 seed by 21 points! And baylor was arguably the best 3 seed seed! A struggling pac 10 team?? They had a team in the sweet 16 didn't they...there is not an easy road 2 the final four but by the braclets I think kansas had the toughest then duke, then kentucky the syracuse
