After watching last night's first halves, how many here actually think Duke will beat Baylor?

Sooner or later you've got to be able to mix it up inside, right?

I'm sticking with my original pick...

Baylor goes to the Final Four, wins a VERY good game.

I think it will be a tough challenge but Baylor is a streaky shooting team as well. It will come down to the last 2 minutes in my opinion

I've got Baylor. Which big man gets into foul trouble first will be a pretty big deal in this game, IMO. Duke can't afford to lose Zeuback (sp?) early because of the good Baylor interior, and Baylor can't afford to lose Udoh early because of his rebounding and shotblocking presence.

The key to a Duke victory is if UK beats WVA tonight. If UK wins, Duke is a LOCK to beat Baylor. Like it or not thats just the way it is. Ratings = EVERYTHING.

Duke is going to win by double digits. Wouldn't surprise me if Baylor kept it close early, but I just think this is Duke's year.

Duke's year to win the championship? You really think that after watching that first half ineptitude?

The key to the game is whether the Baptist or Methodist have more power. I am not sure which one does yet.

Baylor played alot of less talented teams so far. Duke has nowhere near the talent that baylor has but that they played teams that have athletic gaurds will help them against baylor.st. marys was scared to defend baylor up tight duke will pressure the ball. it will be a close game. I don't like the fact that dunn doesnt get off the ground to shoot the ball. smith will be in his shite.

Why just focus on the first halves? It's not like basketball is a 20 minute game. And the defensive pressure from Purdue and St. Mary's were obviously nowhere in the same league.

I think it will be a good game tomorrow and pretty close. I doubt the winner will have more than a 10 point advantage at the end of the game. And this Duke team can certainly mix it up inside. Even though none of their big men can score much, they grab a lot of rebounds because of their height advantage and positioning (height advantage won't be a factor against Baylor though).
