December 19, 200916 yr Very impressive outing by Duke...beating the #15 team in the nation like that...I'll take it.. Baby Steps.
December 19, 200916 yr Ouch. Duke is a good team. They have beat teams that are good in the paint and good from outside. But if a team will really slow it down, make them play 35 seconds of defense on each possession like Wisconsin, they can beat the Devils.

Wisconsin won that game off of home court advantage. If you have a team that is athletic and long on defense with a consistent offense you can beat Duke. That would be teams like Kansas, Texas, Kentucky and Villanova. Wisconsin got lucky, no need to over analyze a way to beat Duke, it's rather simple.
December 19, 200916 yr Is Duke that good or was Gonzaga over hyped? I think the Zags were a little hyped up.

December 19, 200916 yr Not a fan of Duke and don't think they are that great period. I could name 10 teams I think are better.
December 19, 200916 yr Not a fan of Duke and don't think they are that great period. I could name 10 teams I think are better. Name them..... At this point, I only think there are about 6-7 teams that are better or playing better right now.
December 19, 200916 yr Not a fan of Duke and don't think they are that great period. I could name 10 teams I think are better. :lol: :laugh: I'll give you 5. Maybe. Kansas, Kentucky, Texas, Villanova .... I'm struggling with coming up with anymore. People will say Purdue but Duke beat the same team @ Purdue by double digits last year, it wasnt even close.

December 20, 200916 yr Syracuse... Syracuse definitely, they escaped me for a minute. :thumb: But other than that I don't think there is any. Duke is top 6-7 and could easily beat any of the teams on a great shooting night.
December 20, 200916 yr Very impressive win for Duke. Their defense must have been something else today.

That would be teams like Kansas, Texas, Kentucky and Villanova. Wisconsin got lucky, no need to over analyze a way to beat Duke, it's rather simple. I disagree with you. UConn is a long and athletic team and Duke rolled them. You need a very fundamental team, that is very efficient (Bo Ryan). Now, that is not saying that Kansas, Kentucky, or Texas would lose. But if you're not as talented as Duke, that is the method you need to use. No point of running with Duke whenever they are so good from the perimeter. Don't need to give them many possessions because they are very good offensively. Wisconsin wasn't lucky. They just played more efficient and played more fundamentally against Duke.
December 20, 200916 yr With that said, a team like Kentucky, Duke, Carolina, etc. could beat Duke because they're long, talented, and explosive. But my general idea was for teams that aren't as talented - Wisconsin, Gonzaga, teams of that nature.
