Looks like Duke has more questionable losses and then their conference run includes the 4th and 7th best teams in their conference... like you said, I think it would take some Coach K bias to push them to a #1 if both they and KU win.

I've been down for 4 days with the flu. I've watched a lot of basketball, and I have to say, the Big 12 has offered the best basketball. Other than Iowa State and West Virginia.
I bitch about the rugby ball as much or more than anyone else, but in terms of offensive and defensive execution even the rugby ball is better. I watched a shitload of crap-sloppy offense, and horrible out of position defense. The TCU/KU game was probably the worst defensive rotation of the tournament contenders, and virtually every other tournament had major defensive errors at least that commonly.
And I have to say I'm really impressed with OU defensively. I've watched too many garbage OU teams stand around on D, but this team gave up virtually no easy shots. They're pretty down on talent, but they were really technically sound. And they're the 7th seed.
There is some shit basketball being played. Maybe it's familiarity, maybe it's too many games, but woof in terms of offensive and defensive execution, Big 12 is best, albeit a limited sample over a few days.
Sidenote: Woof Iowa State was bad.
