DragonFire Posted March 21, 2008 Author Posted March 21, 2008 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.
HammerTime Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 I think they exposed Duke for the fraud they are.
jvdfc Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 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.
DragonFire Posted March 21, 2008 Author Posted March 21, 2008 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.
The Scribe Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 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.

pioneer568 Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 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.
The Scribe Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Wisconsin, champions of the Big 10, should have been the other #2 seed
Jim Schue Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 I must confess I was united with my Big Blue bretheren in rooting for the vanquishing of the Evil Empire.
KY Thorobred Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Wisconsin, champions of the Big 10, should have been the other #2 seed They aren't playing like a top seed now either.
RockPride Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 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.

It is getting pretty darned tired. We get it, your team has to travel for the first round.
RockPride Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 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.
