i know im going to sound like a first-grader saying this, but it just wouldnt have been fair to jhu, umd, cornell, and all the others that havent won the title in a while if duke had won. think about it. those teams have been contenders since day one, and jhu just lost in the semis and finals three years in a row, and to have duke come out of nowhere and immediately take it in their second final appearance (i think it was their second). it just wouldnt seem right.
