Duke basketball: ACC snubs legendary Blue Devils

A double-take turned into a triple-take, which led to a call to my eye doctor. But it turns out my vision is fine. To my absolute befuddlement, what I saw was real: the official ACC Men's Basketball Twitter account constructed a 64-player bracket to find the "Best ACC Men's Basketball Player of the Last 50 Years" without including Duke basketball greats Jason Williams and Bobby Hurley.

Huh? At first, I figured there must be some reasonable explanation.

Yet before even looking for one, I quickly came to the realization that there cannot be any excuse to leave off Williams, a 2001 national champ who in only three seasons as the Duke basketball starting point guard surpassed 2,000 career points (2,079), won three ACC Tournament titles, and compiled a 50-7 overall conference record.
