Duke May Lose FOUR Of Their Next 5 Games
- Thread starter dlh331
- Start date
Think they go 3-2 with losses at UL and Notre Dame . Sorta think they will be the first loss for UVA though UVA will lose 3-4 IMO .
Maybe people are saying Duke will lose now because there defense has been exposed the last couple of games.

I think this two game losing streak going into the UL game puts the Cards in a bad spot. Now the media perception is going to be that the Cards should win that game, whereas before they were playing with house money. A win would have been great, but a loss would certainly be understandable. Now that has kind of shifted to where UL SHOULD win the game. Duke losing handily at NC State was not a good loss but one that people were willing to chalk up to a bad night, but getting drilled by 20 at Cameron Indoor is a different level of losing. After seeing that, all indications are that the Cards should be able to handle them on their own court, but you've got to believe that Duke isn't going to roll over and continue to take their beatings.
i AGREE, but K has used this formula to win it at least twice (thank the selection committee for the easiest paths possible).
If there was ever a team that Duke could get by without playing defense it's Louisville. The Cards couldn't throw a beach ball in the ocean from 6 inches away.
The matchup to watch, though, will be Motrezl vs. Okafor. That should be fun to watch Montrezl slither back home after another no-show against major competition.

I disagree. Louisville's guards are similar to Miami's in that they are extremely quick. Miami essentially just spread the floor and attacked Duke's extended m2m pressure off the bounce. They were able to get to the rim at ease and finish or dump it off for a lay-up.
I think Louisville wins by 8-10.
Pitino did this in the regional final 2 years ago to duke. Ricky has not forgot how to coach. He will do the same thing Miami did all night long. GBB
I think you are giving your list more credit than it deserves. A loss to Virginia is likely and a loss to ul is possible but I have my doubts. I think Duke ends up 4-1 or possibly 5-0 against these 5 teams.
When will Coach K gets his hyped (deserved) 1K win?
ESPN gambled scheduling last night with their special on Coach K (opposite Sportcenter @ Rupp) and lost. If not for these 2 recent losses Coach K would be right on the edge. Now he is 2 steps back.
