It will go down.

I got UH at -3.5 against UT….won some nice spending money.

Most of us knew the Purdue game was us grinding out a win on a poor shooting night.
I had a really good feeling today was gonna be a double digit win.

Of course I didn’t tell my wife until after I actually won the bet. :hugs:

Not really….

A spread of 3-5 points I personally don’t really consider much of an upset….maybe that’s just me.

If you’re serious, I feel like you and I aren’t watching the same Duke team.

  • proctor is deadly from 3 (sniper)
  • Knueppel is playing like an All american (and 6’7" big at the guard spot. Sometimes seems nearly unguardable.
  • they have 2 bigs that are really good
  • all that is before even mentionning Flagg, who is clearly top 2 for the college player of the year (in my mind, over Broome.
  • They are highly ranked in Kenpom for both offense and defense.

Not saying we can’t beat them. But it might be the first time in the last 2 seasons that we are an underdog. And in the least, it is going to be a huge challenge.

Houston-Duke… is the championship. And I say that respectfully towards UF and Auburn.

They practically have an NBA team. They had two guys practicing with the USA men’s Olympic team, if I’m not mistaken. They are the team to beat. If we beat them, just give us the Natty at that point, because we ain’t losing to UF/Auburn…

Nope, not at all. I’m saying Duke is REALLY good.

Honestly, I agree. We should have never been on the same side of the bracket.

I’m gonna say that any team that can lose to Clemson in February can definitely be beaten in April.

Ya Think? Of course they are good. They didn’t get there by accident.

Calm down fellow Coog. No attacking needed - geez.

I’m loving that we are in this and have a good chance. I’m wanting redemption from what ocurred 40+ years ago.

I’m not one claiming we are doomed…never once said that. Don’t be mixing me up with others that are saying things like that. I’m all in for the Coogs.

If you don’t think Duke is good (for whatever reason) you are welcome to believe that. But you might be mistaken.
