8 on 5 in a close game usually works out pretty well.
Haven't seen ND. If they are athletic they have a chance but if just shooters then not so much.

Should be a good game. I'll take ND, but I think it will be very close. Know I'm really going out on a limb there, but that's my call. Won't be surprised by either team winning, but I will be surprised if it's not close. I don't see Duke blowing them out, so if it's a lopsided win it has to be by ND IMO.
ND has a good shot,a little Coach K 1,000 hangover might be just what the bead stringers need to hit the hail Mary and exorcise the Blue Devils
I think Duke by 5. It will be an interesting match-up. However, I question the Irish on their schedule. They haven't beaten anyone in particular. I'm not a believer in UVA for the same reason. UVA beat them at home. At some point these teams true colors will come out.
Notre Dame, live by the three, die by the three.

Duke has to win 1/2 this week, but I honestly feel they win both. That comeback against St. John's had to be a confidence booster.
I am 100% sick of Virginia so honestly am looking forward to Duke putting them in their place this weekend a bit.

It's basicly the same Virginia team as last season and yes that team is proven. Very very strong team
I would like to see ND pull the "upset", but I do not know how they are going to keep Okafor and company off the boards and from interior scoring. I think ND will put up a better fight than Wiscy did though.
Notre Dame's big win is UNC at UNC. They beat Miami at home.Other than that, they lost to Virginia and Providence and pretty much didn't play anyone else. I expect Duke to "upset" them so that the media start pushing for Duke as a #1 seed again.
Duke wins tonight, then beats Virginia next.
BBN goes back to its "anyone but Duke in the tournament" paranoia within a week.

Think we are better off with Duke as a one seed rather than our 2 seed, so hope they win. Let them lose to some surprise team in their NCAA tourney.
dUKe. That zone they play has changed the outlook for them. Turns out that teams were abusing JO out on the floor.
Very interesting game. ND needs it to prove their ranking is legit, a least to a lot of people, and being 2 games behind UVa, and one behind ND/UNC, Duke can ill afford a loss if they still hope to win the ACC. Something of course they haven't done much in recent years despite the always constant hype about Duke. I hope ND beats them, but I figure Duke to come away with the win.
Do you guys remember "Leonards Losers"? This guy used to be on the radio giving sports predictions and he said stuff just like that....good stuff.
Great game so far in the first half. I have to say win or lose, I like that Duke offensively does not hesitate with taking shots. I hope Towns is watching Okafor. There is no dribbling standing still or taking small steps, everything is aggressive to the basket with no hesitation.
Just started watching and I think ND is going to have to get hot from 3 as they have nobody to stop Okafor. They are one of the few teams though that can go on a blistering scoring binge. Looked like Miami had them beat and they just turned it on like a faucet.
Okafor just knocks a guy on his butt and no call. Just astounds me that they treat him like Jordan.
