Maybe. I can't recall whens the last time (if ever) I saw a Duke squad completely outclassed like they were that night. It's hard for me to imagine he would've made much of a difference. He certainly did in the rematch though. Really wanted to see the tiebreaker w/ both teams @ full strength on a neutral floor to gauge both sqauds better.

Miami still has some work to do. But a 2 seed at worst for either squad shouldn't make much of a difference once the brackets come out. Unless there's travel implications that could be affected.
