As a fan, I actually think they should make the elite 8. They can beat Kentucky if the 3 is falling, but more importantly I think Kentucky has a really good chance of choking in the tourny before they get that far. Obviously they are the favorite talent wise, but the inexperience cost them in the SEC tourny and they are only going to play better teams now. I would not want to see Uconn in the second round if I were a wildcat fan and then Indiana right after that. All in all, not bad for the Dukies.

no, it didn't.

they lost to a team they already beat twice. inexperience had nothing to do with the game yesterday.

they normally make most of the shots they missed yesterday.

A Duke/UK matchup would be very ugly for Duke.

Davis and Jones would have a field day.

Exactly. You play a good team three times and odds are you'll lose one.

Which one of Duke's big men are going to contain Anthony Davis or Terrence Jones? Plumlee? Kelly?

Not really. We already beat UNC and Kansas, among others.

Yea I know. I'm just saying. I bet the OP doesn't even know we played them. Most people don't since we played them early in the season.

Kentucky is the all time greatest team ever ... everyone should start their own tournament and play for second ...

Duke isn't scaring anybody who has a shot to win a NC. They did get a favorable draw but a loss in 32 or 16 wouldn't surprise me at all.

It's going to be fun watching them fall short again.

Duke better pray either SDSU or UNLV beats Baylor. Which isn't far-fetched, as those are tough matchups for Baylor (Duke is a better team, obviously, but I'm talking about style of play -- those are lousy matchups for Baylor)

I love all the LSU fans validating our program. Feels good to be hated again.

Plus the revenge factor for Baylor after what happened a couple years ago.
