Yep, Carolina has faded and Duke is struggling. They still have talent, but it appears both coaches have lost their ability to get the most out of these guys. Roy Williams has been fading the last few years. You used to not even be able to talk basketball without hearing his name, but now you'd probably have to research to see if he's still coaching.
Definite turn of events as the blue bloods aren't pressing as much as they usually do. Kansas has faded, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky. Michigan is playing well, but at the top you have Gonzaga, Baylor, Iowa, Houston, Texas Tech, and others that haven't been climbing that ladder for many years. Good deal though, I'm enjoying watching our rise as well.
