No one should be afraid of Duke anymore.

[KingOfBBN]

Turns out, the “greatest team ESPN has ever seen” isn’t that scary. After struggling with ND State in the first half, and beating UCF and VA Tech by a combined three points, they’re not that great.

They could lose to anyone left in the tourney.

Izzo getting worked over right now.

“Do it for your old friend Kay.”

 

[TM2013]

Izzo and sparty definitely gonna roll over for K as usual

 

[CatfanMike47]

Izzo and sparty definitely gonna roll over for K as usual

I hope not

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

Izzo is a Lion in March........until he meets K. Turns into a pussy cat

 

[WildcatDJ]

Is Izzo 1-11 vs K?

 

[UKUGA]

Is Izzo 1-11 vs K?

Close enough.

 

[Roe07]

Is Izzo 1-11 vs K?

Yep, not a promising stat.

 

[Calsmyguy]

Winston from Michigan st. Already has 2 fouls.

 

[Conn501]

Duke is not very good. If Zion didnt have his own personal set of rules to play by, duke would have been stomped twice now.

 

[littlecreek]

I can almost envision UK meeting Duke in the finals....and K announcing his retirement just before the game. I remember how that scenario turned out for us 44 years ago. Duke is very lucky to not have over 10 losses this year.

 

[silentsaregolden2.0]

Isn't Izzo similarly awful vs Williams? Unless Reddish is out again, I don't see MSU winning. I think Gonzaga or TT has a better chance of beating them.

I hope he does. I actually hope this happens. So our players can go out and play with reckless abandon, because in those circumstances, we’d lose anyway. So why not hit em in the mouth.

 

[Jollyroger22]

Playing Duke in the tournament is more concerning than having Higgins or Shows reffing one of our games because they essentially turn every ref into a Higgins or Shows.

You all just don't understand.I watched ESPN, and their NCAA coverage consisted of the Duke Virginia Tech game + highlights of all the past Duke games. So clearly no one else is worth covering in the NCAA (now that UNCCheats is out).

That is true, but that is also the kind of luck you need to win championships.

I take that back. They are now going over UNCCheats and UK and Auburn.

 

[Old_Red]

I take that back. They are now going over UNCCheats and UK and Auburn.

OK They talked about UK and Auburn probably for less than 30 seconds with most of it talking about how you have to replace Okeke with a "village". They have the Auburn and UK logos up and they are talking about Duke and Virginia Tech.

 

[JC CATS]

I take that back. They are now going over UNCCheats and UK and Auburn.

I heard. I'm not making excuses for North Carolina and then proceeded to make excuses. Gotta love ACCN

 

[WildMoon]

Why would you be afraid of Duke in the first place?

Tomorrow is the last day of March. He might have come in like a lion, but you know what they say.

I noticed also last night cbs/tbs didn't show the VT/pUKe score until pUKe was ahead.

 

[Ocornett]

I think Puke loses Sunday. If Michigan State plays the way they did yesterday their going to the final four. They were hitting everything they put up.

 

[Gocats1954]

The thing I am afraid of about Duke is that they are the luckiest team that I have ever seen. That and the fact that they are the media darlings and the refs seem to give them favorable treatment.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

I watched Dukie V this morning complaining about Duke having to face Michigan State. It is not fair to make a number one seed play Michigan State.

 

[kybassfan]

I noticed also last night cbs/tbs didn't show the VT/pUKe score until pUKe was ahead.

Yeah, they did. Sure didn”t call much attention to it though.

 

[Cowboys&Wildcats]

I don't see Michigan State beating them, I also think the only team left who can beat them is Gonzaga.

 

[melvinm]

I have Sparty beating dUKe in my bracket.

 

[BlueRupp]

Izzo is K’s personal chew toy. He’ll roll over and let Duke do whatever they want. I think Duke wins easily.

 

[chevyman 50]

The refs will help duke win..

 

[buster3.0]

Teams have to learn to not choke against Duke at the end of games. Missing easy layups, letting them get easy rebounds, air balls, etc. The opportunity was too big for UCF and vt. Nerves took over. Hopefully the Spartans are tougher.

 

[Cats192]

I like MSU to get it done.

 

[littlecreek]

Seth Davis after the game last night was making excuses for UNCHEATS losing, talking about their player that had the flu and the other one . He said that they would have made a difference during Auburn’s run. Most of these tv people make me sick.

 

[JesusCal91]

Reddish is a big damn baby maybe he can borrow some man pants from big balls PJ

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

Is Izzo 1-11 vs K?

The only thing I fear about Duke is how damn lucky they are. The number of things that had to go just perfect for them to win these last 2 games. Absolutely unreal. I'm starting to think that not only are the media & the refs Duke fans. But with the lucky bounces they've got the last 2 games. I'm beginning to wonder if God isn't a Duke fan.

 

[Madcat62]

Why would you be afraid of Duke in the first place?

hope the players aren't this time around

 

[kyups01]

I honestly think this is the year MSU beats K....but K owns him

 

[Zakk Wyldcat]

They are the most lopsided one-man team since Danny Manning-led Kansas in 1988

 

[Born and raised Big Blue]

I think if izzo can force them to take jump shots and threes they will win. It will be a great game.
