I guess I don't get the dislike for a college team because their guys don't do well in the pros. As of opening day for the 2009-2010 season, Duke was tied for 1st with UConn for the most players on NBA rosters.
By the pro-potential logic, we shouldn't like any Huskers that didn't make it big in the NFL.
Maybe it's cuz I'm not much of an NBA fan, but I'm not too concerned with what kind of pro-hype a kid gets while he's still in college. Look at the Hayward kid from Bulter. Nobody really knew who he was until the tournament and all of the sudden his draft stock has jumped up a lot. But he could be as big a flop as anybody from any team, not just Duke.
And as far as teams like Duke and Butler go, they graduate 90% of their players, play team-oriented basketball, and win a lot. And I think that winning a lot of games with white guys who are perceived as being less athletic and just all-around worse basketball players is why most people don't like Duke.
I will say that I have been a Duke fan almost as long as I've been a Husker fan, even before their first title.
