Most thought Duke would have an “easy” run deep in the tournament, thanks to a seeding system which, according to Duke haters, seems to favor them every year.
So when fans saw them facing South Carolina in the second round Sunday night, they chalked up another Blue Devils win before the game started. But then the Gamecocks pulled the upset, 88-81, and Twitter exploded. Here are some of the best anti-Duke tweets from tonight:
