Duke in freefall

[CocoHusky]

If I'm Duke im giving Coach P one more year. Im one of the most non bias people on this site I just appreciate basketball so please bare with me... depending on matchups and seeding don't be surprised to see Duke in the final four... oh my

I wish Duke well but I don't see them advancing very far without significant better guard play. Regardless of the bracket you put them in Duke would likely have to beat a 1 & 2 seed to make the final 4. Best shot for Duke would be a bracket with SC#1 and FSU#2. If the current brackets hold up first game away from Durham would be against Baylor... then ND to get to Final 4. In the current bracket even the second game vs. The Ohio State University is not a gimme. A poor showing in ACC tournament might cost Duke the first two games being at home, so then you are essentially playing a higher seeded team on thier home court. Not a very bright outlook.

If that is indeed the case than you're right it's not a very bright outlook, but I expect us getting to the semifinals of the acc tournament against Notre Dame before we enter the NCAA tournament. I think this is the year we're not going to be included in Uconn bracket (thank god) so anything can happen. Also, I believe that our best shots is landing with Tenn, Maryland, Fsu, South Carolina, Baylor. Is Duke a final four team at this point of the season? No. Can it happen? Possibly. IF we can avoid Notre Dame/Uconn there will be some interesting games. Side note: Duke is literally 8-10 minutes of COACHING away from beating Notre Dame.
