WVU has a great shot at beating Duke, anyone else think so?

Duke escaped Belmont, has been very ripe for the past several years in March.

WVU looks like the kind of team that will give Duke trouble.

Absolutely. Felt that way even before the Belmont game. Duke's squeaker win will make the line lower on them though so not sure if there's as much value as there could have been. But yeah, absolutely WVU has a nice chance.

That is the problem, the line will be lower now, this is not exactly news at this point....Sometimes when a team squeaks by they come out blazing too...this just feels like a WVU game they should be in til the end, that is a good team playing very well!

After watching that game last night, hard not to agree. Sort of regretting putting them through to the regional final in every one of my brackets.

I think Duke is grossly over-rated. I'm not sure how/why they were ranked #2 for this tournament after losing to Clemson. In their last 4 games, they lost to UNC, beat Georgia Tech, lost to Clemson in the ACC semis, then squeaked by Belmont. I would take WVU for the straight-up win.

I think everyone will be on WVU now and like reload said the line will be lower than it would have before yesterday....unfortunately.

w. Va is the kind of team that can beat ALOT of teams if they are hitting the 3's.....then again, if duke comes out hot, they could win by double digits.....will be curious to see how duke responds...sometimes, teams take a game like the belmont one as a wake up call, and come out guns-a-blazing next time....will be fun to watch

I'm going to take Duke. When the public goes against them (like vs Maryland), they usually play good.

Duke is the play IMO. I would love to see WV win, but Duke will come out playing hard. Maybe Duke first half and WV 2nd half would be a good play

I have Duke winning it all this year. I think the Belmont game was a wakeup call. They will beat NC in the final.

Coach K is a master at recruiting, every year they lost tons of underclassmen to the NBA, and still reloaded. This class appears to be a bust. No surprise here. Last year first round, almost again this year, now gone, scratch that #2 rep seed. Bracket buster for many.

No inside game to speak of. You can't win launching three's all year long. They got a little tired, teams paid more attention to the 3 point players and plays to get their shots and Duke had no answer. You have to have an inside presence. They didn't. See Ya Duke!

Then why is crummy Pac10 Wash St. Favored over very tough Big East Notre Dame. The fighting Irish even had a better conference record in a tougher conference. Wrong team favored here.

Re: WVU has a great shot at beating Duke, anyone else think so?

Maybe a tougher non conference schedule where they actually play somebody tough on the road would help Duke. But that would tarnish their record and cost them yet another chance to be over rated. If you could not see this coming today from a mile away you must like your Kool Aid blue.

Maybe Coach K needs to spend his summers back at Duke and not with Team USA so his team can hit the weights in the offseason.
