Was @PurplePride92 sandbagging his squad going into March Madness or not?

I honestly don't know.  Duke was on of the most talented teams all year but just couldn't get it to fully click.  They are clicking now!

Not even a real Duke fan. Probably didnt even pick em to win it all lol

That's like asking if he likes Polish Sausage.

Nope, I think he had just had it with them.  I think he will also have a hard time jumping back on the wagon next year.

He isn't going to care about next year when they are cutting down the nets in a week and a half.

I'm not so sure of that.

Great thread!!!! ????
 

 

I absolutely was not sandbagging.  After the UNC Coach K’s Last Home Game Debacle my frustration was high.  I felt like they underachieved all season long and that they had peaked in December.  They absolutely have the talent to be where they are now but my concern was that they would never reach their potential.   Good teams win, great teams cover and they haven't been covering the spread at a good rate since January.  I know what I need to see from a team to see championship potential.  I didn’t think this team had championship potential anymore.  
 

I was wrong.  They are playing great and fortunately have made the Elite 8 with a chance to advance further.  One game at a time.  Arkansas is up next.  I’m glad to be wrong about this team.   I forgive them for how they played against UNC in the one game they absolutely couldn’t lose.   Because I can’t forget that game I can’t imagine this team making me feel lower than I did that night and the following days.
 

They way they came back against Michigan State and Texas Tech has rejuvenated me and I am honestly excited they are simply still alive.   Even if they don’t win it all I am super glad to know that this team will not disappoint me anymore.   I’m grateful for that.  ?

Not a chance.  Been on the wagon for 30 years and next year’s team is loaded with talent and Jeremy Roach will be back.  I’m absolutely looking forward to next year with Jon Scheyer leading the team.

One game at a time.  Gotta beat Arkansas first.

If Duke wins it all I win the pool at work. I picked them.  They made me sick multiple times this season but I still picked them.

How much will you win?

$116 is the total.  I did 2 sheets for $4.  Duke on one.  Arizona on the other.   
 

I also bet on them to win it all before the season started at +1500 for $10.  Win $150 if they win it all.

Thanks.  I just looked over the teams left, I think I am going to root for Duke the rest of the way because of all the money you are going to win.
