D-I Basketball Committee Chairman Dan Guerrero’s answered some questions after today’s bracket was announced. Among the questions asked was the decision on ranking Duke #1

“Q.  Mr. Guerrero, I wanted to ask you about Duke being on the No. 1 line. What put them ahead of Syracuse on the 1 line, and maybe even West Virginia, I thought West Virginia would merit consideration for the 1 line.“

“DAN GUERRERO: You know, you’re right on in terms of your assumptions. We really deliberated for a considerable amount of time throughout the week relative to the 1’s. All of the teams that obviously are on the 1 line are very strong, have tremendous résumés.“

“West Virginia, as you indicated, also has a tremendous résumé. We deliberated quite a bit on the potential of them being moved up to that particular line.“

“In Duke’s case, obviously they won 11 of their last 12 games. All of the teams that are on that line are deserving. They won their conference championship, going through quite a gauntlet with some great teams. And, of course, they went through the post season tournament and won that as well.“

“The committee felt that there was some value certainly in that kind of a season. As relates to Syracuse, a fabulous team. Obviously had a terrific year. They did lose their last two games. In the end, we just felt that the kind of season that Duke had, having gone through the year winning both the conference, having a great out of conference schedule, and winning the post season tournament, carried the day.“

And how does injuries after the bracket placements?

“Q.  The Arinze Onuaku injury in Syracuse, how much of a factor did that play with Syracuse falling behind Duke on that 1 line?“

“DAN GUERRERO: Whenever there’s an injury, especially one of that magnitude, we make certainly that we endeavor to get as much information as we can to ascertain whether an individual player can play, whether they continue, whether they can be at full speed, certainly to the best of our abilities.“

“In that particular case, the reports that we received back from Syracuse were very positive in that regard. You know, you hate to see a student athlete hurt, and you hate to see that have an impact on any aspect of this tournament. But it is a factor.
You know, we still thought that Syracuse would be able to play with him in there. We feel that he’s going to be able to come back, based on the information that we have. They’ve earned a No. 1 seed. They are going to be able to play close to home. Hopefully they’ll be able to do that with that young man in the lineup.“
