Duke is probably the best team overall this year. and i hate to say that being a fan of umd(yeah yeah they are terrible and you just never know when they are going to come out and play) but will they win the championship very very doubtful. vision i know you know this duke live and die by the 3pt line. pretty much everyone on the team is a 3pt shooter which means once they get to the sweet 16 elite 8 final 4 all those games against pretty good teams. if one player doesnt matter who has an off game its over for them. they cant win a game playing down low its all about the outside and if they have an off game which does happen they are going to lose.

thats so true but the thing is they havent been off so far. but are bound too but what if it doesnt happen during the tournement. the reason why they might possibly loose in the tournement is because of their lack of maturity. they might crumble playing against the best on constant hostile environments.

ok ok Vision..... Unc lost but i have a strong feeling about the rematch.1st of all Lawson will be back(a top guard in the country).He directs that team like a nash or a paul and ect.Lawson takes alot of pressure off of the whole offense and espicially hansborough.2nd of all Hansborough cannot be stopped unless he gets double or tripple teamed, which will give alot of better looks for the rest of the team. UNC had a poor/unlucky shooting game which wont happin alot.Duke is weak down low bottom line...


I do give alot of credit to the way that Coach K prepared them and they played great defense.Roy williams will have a whole new approach on the rematch and duke wont get as many open ass 3's.Duke had a Great/lucky shooting night while carolinas Ellington and Green couldnt get a shot to stay in the rim.They had about 5-6 that rolled out.Green is the 6th man of the year so far.Those two must and will play better next time



I cant make excusses it was a GG but UNC is still superior lol.
Count the the titles and the amount or Top level players they have produced.....Worthy,Jordan,Stackhouse,Wallace,Carter,Jamison,and the list keeps going......

Compare the best players and titles from duke vision lol heres dukes--->

everything changes from the first game to the second game. its going to be at duke with the cameron crazies which is a big factor. ellington/green will hit their shots and lawson will play and be a factor but hansborough played as good as he really could so nothing new there. the rematch will be the time where we will really know whether or not duke is for real because they will either have to develop an inside game, hit as much/more threes or make things happen and find a way. imo if they find a way without shooting the ball good they are the best team in the nation period. bottom line is the rematch is a whole different ball game.

hate to say it but that win for duke is the best they can play against UNC..the way they shot from the 3 point line isnt going to happen everytime, and ellington wont shoot that bad. next game is going to be even better imo with UNC getting the ball to hansborough more often. anyway i picked duke and will pick duke next time too.

You all do realize that Lawson did NOT play?

Dont think it woulda mattered if he played anyways. Hansbourgh went 10 minutes without touching the ball and i dont believe Lawson coulda got him the ball either with the defense Duke was playing. UNC cant guard the 3 and if they think they can win in Cameron Indoor Stadium letting Duke bomb away, they are sadly mistaken. Memphis may be ranked #1 but they havent lost a game neither. They arent as good as Duke or UNC or even Kansas. They have played no one this year nd play in one of weakest conferences in the country, so i have to say Duke is the best team in the country. Your just a hater nd u dont even live in NC. I live and breath college hoops nd bleed Duke blue. Have been a Duke fan since the day i came outta my mother. This Duke team is equal to the past 3 national champion Duke teams. When tourney time comes nd we get the overall #1 seed, then will u see how good this Duke team is? UNC gave us NO CHALLENGE, we took lead 5 minutes into game and never looked back. Never were even challenged in my opinion by UNC after we took the lead. Duke flat out whooped Carolina's ass and my god it was beautiful.

Feb.18 i have to take my twins to UNC hospital for an eye appointment nd im gonna wear my Duke Blue proudly. Talk alot of shit as well because i know what we got in Durham this year. We got a national championship team.

Thanks for the laugh

U know SHIT about college hoops. I live in College Hoops country. ACC=Best College Hoops in the land. Dont matter if its UNC or Duke. Ur just hating cuz since 1990 Duke has 3 championships to UNCs 2. We also went 6 years in a row winning the ACC tourney title as well. Duke has just been better than UNC since the 90s and everyone is a hater. Just keep hating and ill be laughing when we keep on winning all the way into March.
