Chapter 44

: Another Battle with Duke?

The 2006 NCAA Final Four was held in Indianapolis.

The final will be held on April 3, 2006, at the RAC Dome in Indianapolis.

RAC Dome is the home stadium of the NFL's Indiana Colts, a stadium with a capacity of 60,000.

NCAA teams must reach the Final Four to play in the RAC Dome.

As for the first round, the second round and subsequent regional competitions will be held in other locations.

"We're the number one seed this year, and we're based in the Atlanta area!"

Early in the morning of March 13, 2006, the University of Washington's seeding for the NCAA Tournament was released.

The annual NCAA seeding is arguably the most exciting event in American sports.

Once the seedings are determined, the matchups will also be released.

Once the NCAA bracket is released, even the President of the United States uses it to predict the advancement paths of each team in this year's NCAA.

With a near-perfect performance this year, including a 34-game winning streak in both the NCAA non-conference and conference playoffs, the University of Washington is naturally the focus of attention.

After the University of Washington's seeding was announced, everyone felt it was only natural, that it should have been this way!

The University of Washington will be the number one seed among all 65 teams!

He is also the number one seed in the Atlanta area!

This year, the NCAA was divided into four quarter-divisions.

There will be one general seed team in each of the four regions: Atlanta, Oakland, Minneapolis, and Washington, D.C.

"Besides us, the other three overall seeded teams are UConn, Villanova, and the University of Memphis. I didn't expect Duke to be left out of the overall seedings."

This year's NCAA's top four seeded teams include the University of Washington, the number one seed from the Atlanta region.

The number two seed, Cornell, is based in the Washington, D.C. area.

Villanova University, the No. 3 seed in the Minneapolis area.

And the University of Memphis, the fourth seed from the Auckland region.

Duke University, which had been touted by American media as the strongest NCAA team in history for more than half a year, failed to make the cut.

Duke University has an impressive record of 30 wins and 2 losses in 32 games since its loss to the University of Washington.

They also won the ACC League Championship, but were still not given the status of a general seed team.

"Even now, the impact of Duke's loss to us hasn't faded yet. The selection committee would rather give the overall seeding to Villanova University, who didn't win the tournament and only had a 25-4 record, than Duke."

"Not only that, the entire ACC league has been dragged down by Duke."

"Of the 65 teams participating in the National Championship this year, the ACC, our P-10, and the SEC each have four teams, while the Big East has five this year."

"I remember the ACC had five teams participating last year, right? Duke and North Carolina were both seeded teams last year."

The announcement of the NCAA's overall and regional seedings not only surprised the University of Washington, but also caused a stir across the United States.

The ACC League has lost its top seed status!

However, Yes thought it was quite normal, given how badly Duke University lost to the University of Washington.

Even Washington State University, the weakest team in the P-10 League, didn't lose that badly.

If Duke University hadn't won the ACC championship this year, they might have been able to retain their status as a seeded team in the ACC.

But in the end, Duke University, which is so terrible this year, actually won the championship in your ACC conference, so there's really nothing we can do about it.

Then your ACC league is all garbage this year!

After losing to the University of Washington, Duke University has a record of 30 wins and 2 losses. Redick's personal statistics are 27 points per game, ranking third in the NCAA scoring list.

However, neither Duke University nor Redick personally ever gained respect again.

As a result, Duke University lost its overall seeding status, and Redick is still facing a late first-round draft prospect.

I don't know if the league did it on purpose, but in the end, they actually put Duke University in the Atlanta area, where the University of Washington is located, as the second seed.

In other words, if everything goes smoothly, the University of Washington and Duke University will have another match in the quarterfinals!

Is this alliance giving the University of Washington another chance to humiliate Duke University?

Or should we give Duke University a chance to get revenge?

Regardless, this anticipated quarterfinal series will definitely garner just as much attention as this year's NCAA Championship game!

All I can say is that the NCAA league knows how to play the game.

The University of Washington is delighted that Duke University is a likely opponent in the upcoming quarterfinals!

Both head coach Romar and Yesroy, along with the players, were very happy!

If we can defeat Duke again in this nationally watched game, or even defeat Duke by a large margin, we can humiliate and humiliate Duke.

Then head coach Lorenzo Romar will step over Coach K's head and enter the NCAA's hall of fame for great coaches!

Similarly, players from the University of Washington will have a better chance of making it into the NBA.

The University of Washington has more than just Yes and Roy as players.

Players like Conroy, Brockman, Bobby Jones, and even substitute Justin Dentmon all aspire to enter the NBA in the future!

According to Dentmon, the Spurs have recently contacted him, hoping he will participate in the draft this year.

The Spurs are eyeing Dentmon's speed and hope he can come back as Parker's backup, taking advantage of Dentmon's relatively low market value to snag him.

But Dentmont didn't want to be taken advantage of!

He probably used to think that just getting into the NBA would be enough.

Now, why can't it be the first round!

He's a little mouse from Seattle!

Yes, the strongest substitute by my side!

He deserves a first-round pick!

It's also worth having a protective contract!

Yeah, Justin Dentmon seems a bit cocky lately...

Actually, the entire University of Washington has been a bit overconfident lately...

"We're going to take down Duke University again!"

In the eyes of the University of Washington, Duke University is simply a gift from the consortium.

I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't tear it down again!

The atmosphere at the University of Washington made Yes feel quite restless.

"Yes, you're excited too?!"

"No!"

Well, he actually is a bit...

Redick is his "favorite" opponent!

After the NCAA bracket was released, everyone in the United States, from the president to ordinary citizens, was holding a printed copy of the bracket and seeing the path to the next round.

Without a doubt, 99% of American fans expect the University of Washington and Duke University to meet in the quarterfinals.

It's no exaggeration to say that the human being is essentially a monkey watching a spectacle.

"Redick's dream of winning the lottery, Sheldon Williams' dream of being the number one draft pick, Coach K's pursuit of glory, and the expectations of all of America—all of these rested on this game!"

Duke University training facility, North Carolina.

After the NCAA National Championship bracket was released, Duke University's training facility became quiet.

Coach K likes this kind of dullness.

This kind of desperate, relentless, and vengeful spirit requires a certain level of stagnation!

The longer this period of stagnation lasts, the greater the energy they can unleash!

The more you devour your opponent's power, the greater it becomes!

"Amazing, JJ has made fifty three-pointers in a row now, right?!"

"JJ's three-point shooting is getting more and more accurate. This season in the NCAA, JJ is averaging 4.5 three-pointers per game with a 43% shooting percentage, second only to Yes!"

"Shh, keep it down, don't let JJ hear..."

Yes! Yes! ! Yes! ! ! ! !

With a bang, the streak of three-pointers came to an end...
