3 ACC teams in the Elite 8

I was hoping State would make it, but I am cool with Louisville being there. Going against a Michigan State team that I think is on a run to the final four. Notre Dame has a daunting task ahead of them against Kentucky. Can they beat the Cats? Can they consistently hit jump shots and spread out there bigs? Arizona will be looking for revenge. And Mark Few is looking for his first finial four. We are Duke though and I think we are in for another huge game. I don't think the Zags have been challenged in the tournament so far btw. We will be their first challenge.
Not only that but Duke has beaten 4/8 of the elite 8 teams. I know its a different time of year but that's still pretty cool. Not many teams can say they beat 4 of the 8 "best" teams.
I stated to non-ACC buddies before the 1st Round: I'm calling ACC 6-0
The teams have performed well since. As I told my Irish buddy: you guys have benefited from ACC open play versus Big East physicality.

Two things I really want to see is Duke winning it all, and Kentucky losing at any point. I like the chances of both. I think ND has a chance, although I don't think they will win. I do think they will give more insight to the coaches of the two teams I think will be on the other side of the Final 4 bracket, Duke and Louisville. They know ND well, especially Coach K, scouting that gave will be very helpful. Kentucky still hasn't been tested like they will from here on.
