March 15, 200818 yr ^ They have looked like that for about the last 5-6 times they have played Duke. This loss was coming sooner rather than later.
March 15, 200818 yr It could be Georgetown, I would like for them to lose tonight. I think are losses are about the same. I think we have beaten more quality teams than they have. One of their better wins is Marquette, who we have beat as well. They lost to Memphis, we lost to Carolina(by closer margin). We also beat UNC and Wisonsin. But your right, they would be the only team that could pass us IMO.
March 15, 200818 yr Author It could be Georgetown, I would like for them to lose tonight. If G-Town wins the Beast I think they take Dule's 2 seed.
March 15, 200818 yr I just looked at the Bracketology and they were already a 2 seed. Did they take X's spot or what?
March 15, 200818 yr I lived in Dayton when Oliver coached there, this couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I'm a UVA fan, but this is really great to see Clemson FINALLY beat Duke and get to their first conference tournament final since 1962?!? :scared: Congrats Tigers!! :ylsuper:
March 16, 200818 yr :dancingpa My only wish I guess is that Duke can and will play much worse from here on out.
March 16, 200818 yr You live by the 3, you die by the 3... As a college basketball fan, I like this Duke team... But I don't see the making a run in March. Duke relies way too heavily on the three in my opinion.
March 16, 200818 yr Clemson did not even play THAT well until the final few minutes. I don't think Duke will ever shoot that poorly from 3 again for a few years. But as many said I don't see them making much of a run in the tourney.

IF they shoot 35% from three in the tourney they should make the Elite Eight.

I hope you understand that there is so many other factors than just what Duke shoots from 3 point range. For instance, they gave up 78 points tonight. There is rebounding, turnovers, etc. 35% from 3 point range is not a magical number that will lead to victories.
