March 21, 200818 yr Author You really can't ask for much more than an open look and a shot to win. Tough for Belmont, and Coach K and Duke sigh in relief as they dodge a second straight first round exit.
March 21, 200818 yr Great game. I bet they covered the spread.:lol: Duke does not look like a 2 seed. It was great seeing Coach K / i mean have the big one.
March 21, 200818 yr Author I think they exposed Duke for the fraud they are. I don't know that they've exposed anything we didn't already know. That when Duke is off from three (6/22, 27%), they're not going to be doing so hot.
March 21, 200818 yr Duke is a mortal team when they play outside of North Carolina in the first round. Lost to VCU last year in Buffalo. In the last seven NCAA tournaments where Duke opens outside the state of North Carolina, they have advanced past the Sweet 16 just twice.
March 21, 200818 yr I don't know that they've exposed anything we didn't already know. That when Duke is off from three (6/22, 27%), they're not going to be doing so hot. And terrible on D.
March 21, 200818 yr Duke should not be a two seed and they proved that tonight. Standford should have been the other two seed. You can't do good in the tourney without a solid big man.
March 21, 200818 yr I must confess I was united with my Big Blue bretheren in rooting for the vanquishing of the Evil Empire.
March 21, 200818 yr Wisconsin, champions of the Big 10, should have been the other #2 seed They aren't playing like a top seed now either.
March 21, 200818 yr I think they exposed Duke for the fraud they are. I have been saying all year that they were supremely overranked, and now they are over seeded. That said, they again struggled to shoot the three. If they can find that shot, they will keep advancing.

In the last seven NCAA tournaments where Duke opens outside the state of North Carolina, they have advanced past the Sweet 16 just twice. Would you please get over it by now. It is getting pretty darned tired. We get it, your team has to travel for the first round.
March 21, 200818 yr And terrible on D. They are actually pretty darned good on defense, just soft down low, which Belmont knew. WVU doesn't really have that threat, so we'll see.
