I want Duke in this game. Cuse has always been my most hated team and after them lobbying for louisville over us; the choice seems simple to me.

This will be the first time in my life I'll be rooting for Duke.

Rooting for Duke because Cuse is acting like they have never hosted a big name program before. It's okay for BC to be excited the first time Duke plays at your place, but Cuse fans and administration are acting like a mid major here.

Way too much hype, blowout potential for Cuse. I think it's better for UConn if Duke loses since both UConn & Duke 17-4 for tourney seedings race.

This game just accentuates how important it is we get into a p5 conference ASAP. The crazy ESPN hype machine is incredibly helpful in promoting programs which aids in recruiting. UConn needs to be playing in these types of games.

I think we kind of know this.

Do Cuse fans storm the court in their Beat Duke t-shirts if they win?

I am hoping the already printed 21-0 Syracuse t-shirts end up in the same place as the Kentucky Pursuit of Perfection t-shirts in the $1.99 clearance rack.

Yes. I am still laughing about the time they stormed the court after beating us in 2000 (IIRC). Of course, we were defending national champions so I guess they were paying proper respect.

I'm rooting for cuse for two reasons:

I want it to be plainly obvious that the big east transplants are immediately the best of the acc, I don't want the lines blurred with a duke win.

I want to see cuse in the regional final at MSG. A win tonight would go a long way towards locking them as a 1 seed in the east. I think we still have a great chance to play ourselves into a 3/4 seed which will allow that to happen.

I'm rooting for Cuse in hopes a drubbing would knock Puke out of the top 25. I know, they probably will rise in the polls with a loss but a guy can dream can't he?

Dook would need to lose a bunch of games to fall out of the top 25 - they're Dook.

Have to say, Duke is the only team this year to properly attack the zone, so far.

We've slayed the Duke dragon. Syracuse thinks they are Duke, but in reality, they're a good replacement for Maryland and are having a nice year. I'm rooting for Duke.

Syracuse getting the Duke treatment. 3 Duke players with 4 fouls with 9 minutes left.

On a side note, i can believe how much Cuse has hyped this game up. Selling 'Beat Duke' shirts 3 months ago? They're playing #17 Duke, not 1991 UNLV.

I don't think I have been more angry watching a non-uconn basketball game then I am right now.

With Coach K, at least you know his team will be well prepared for the zone. Conserving second half time outs? Not so much.
