I disagree.

Everything just went right for Duke.
Duke goes were Smith takes them.
8 at best.

Ok that's fine. I guess everything didn't go right for you guys last week? I'll take 2 of out 3 on the year. You are right, Duke might not make the Final 4. The West is looking pretty tough, but if Kyrie comes back (and it is starting to sound like he is) and will be able to contribute I would put Duke in Houston w/o thinking twice. He is that good, and obviously it's pretty fair to say that if he had stayed healthy Harrison Barnes would be 1st runner up for ACC ROTY.

It wouldn't surprise me you if guys have a very tough time w/ the Huskies in round 2 and maybe even lose.

Actually no, I didnt pick Carolina to go all the way.

If Carolina had not collapsed in the first one round at Cameron we win the season series. We have better athletes and better talent. Duke is streaky and way to dependent on the three ball which will lead to a bracket busting early exit for most of the experts here on this board and around the country.

again everything just went Dukes way. When you bank a three off balance you just know its just night.

You just act like "8 at best" isn't a ceiling for Carolina too.

Yeah, and if Duke isn't missing its best player for all three games, they don't lose to Carolina a single time. This game is fun. With KI there is no such thing as "at best." Without him, both teams will lose next weekend but I'll still take Duke over Texas before I'd take UNC over Syracuse.

If Texas stays out of foul trouble they beat Duke.

UNC can beat a terrible Orange team 3-5 times. They just are not that good this year.

Never claimed Carolina would make a 4 run at any time.

That's fair enough. I hate Florida too. Don't confuse my allegiance to Duke for anything above the Vols. I am a UT grad, who grew up a UT fan. I didn't fall in love with UT until November 1999 when I went to the UT/ Notre Dame game. I was totally hooked from that point on. However, it is hard for me to push away from Duke considering I have lived 5 minutes from campus and had season tickets for nearly 15 years. The Triangle is a special to watch College Basketball (especially Cameron Indoor) and Neyland Stadium is one of the other great venues in college sports. I consider myself very lucky to have been a part of both of them. As you know, my disdain for the Heels' is something that I cannot help and is something I grew up with. As many people that are on this board hate Bama, Florida, maybe Georgia, not many would understand what it would be like living 10 minutes down the road from either of those schools. Auburn/Alabama aren't even that close. It really is an event.

So your really going to say Duke can run with the Buckeyes and Kansas of the world?

Tell me your joking.

Duke can easily run with tOSU and KU. If Irving is getting significant minutes by that time, Duke might just leave them in a cloud of dust. I get that you're a 'Heel, but show the typical 'Heel class and give the Dukies some respect they've definitely earned.

Very cool, I certainly understand where you are coming. I see no reason why we cant be friends just because I hate Duke and you hate UNC. I became a Vol fan when my dad brought me a hat home from a vacation he took. Im the kind of person that if you wear the hat you should know about the team on the front of it and my addiction grew from there. I have not been to Neyland yet but I certainly want to go asap. Any suggestions on were to sit ect?
