Duke is still a good team, but this year it is more their system that will win them games than their players. They don't have anyone the quality of kyrie or Nolan...... Kansas is not good, going nowhere, won't last past first weekend of ncaas, Tennessee will not make tourney, maybe nit, and Michigan will finish middle of the pack in big 10 and maybe be an 8 or 9 seed.... Also, Michigan state isn't gat either, 5 seed maybe... So, anyway, all quality wins for duke.... We expect that, they are a quality team that is well coached and plays their system...

I do like uconn v duke this year... Just guard the 3 ball and let them drive, only rivers can do so and score against or bigs and guards... There's a reason coach k doesn't want to play uconn very often, our system has a proven advantage over their system, and Calhoun is just as good if not better a coach than k... I'd love to see them in the tourney as the 2 seed in our region...

Did anyone see how pissed off the duke bench got when the Kansas big flopped in the last few minutes? Pretty funny.... Taste of your own

Duke looks like a pretty nice team but honestly why are we spending all this time talking and hating on them.
Because it's Duke, dude. It's like questioning Alabama as to why they spend time hating on Auburn.

Like it or not they are pretty good when they shoot the ball well. And with Curry, Dawkins, Rivers and Kelly they have perimeter weapons and consistent ones at that. Not a deep or really athletic team but really solid. Add tot hat all the calls they get (Miles Plumlee is a fn hack, huge hack) and you have a dangerous team at any given time. My thought is they will fall short due to Coack K not utilizing any sort of bench for Feb/March!!!

What will happen to Duke in March is exactly what happens to Duke every year in March. They will find themselves matched up against a strong, athletic team, they'll have a cold shooting night, and won't have a plan B. Last year Arizona looked like men among boys against Duke. You could also point to: 2009, Villanova; 2008, West Virginia; 2006, LSU; 2005, MSU; 2004, us; etc.

Or they will get a damn easy draw and sleepwalk to the Final Four.
