All the experts are saying Duke has the easiest road to the final four. We all know what happens then.

Duke - the first #1 to lose.

The gonzaga game was good but i dont think the iowa st game counts for too much. Better than losing it of course

Osirus - true, but it's still a win away from Cameron...which according to most people on this forum, Duke can't do. 

If Duke had to play every game of this tourney in the other team's home gym then I would be a little worried.  Every game is at a neutral site - Duke was undefeated at neutral sites this year.  That's the point I was trying to make.

MSG- Again, they play there as much as they play the site of the ACC tourney. And they do it every yr.

Have you ever been @ a game in the Garden when they play? Real neutral!!!

and yes, I too didn't bring up Iowa ST

While we're talking college bball - New Mexico State is going to beat Mich State and Maryland and go to the Sweet Sixteen. 

Michigan State is overrated.  Even the games they won this year were close.  They have trouble scoring, meanwhile, NM St. fills it up.

I've been to several Duke games at MSG.  I was also at the Meadowlands a few years back when they beat Texas by 40, when they were #1 and Texas was #2.  Redick dropped 41.  But just because they play there every year, it's still a neutral site.  I mean, it's new players every few years..

Duke fans are like Yankee and Cowboy fans...they're spread out all over the country, not just in a region.  So do you think where they play in the tourney, there will be more Duke fans?  If so, is that not considered neutral?

Cuse didn't get the 3rd overall #1 because Onauku isn't playing. They are not the same team without thier starting center and an already less than deep bench. The committee knows this. 

This year's Duke team is completely different from past teams. They actually have size down low with depth. Those bigs are making it easier on the 3 go-to guys to score and are helping on D very well. Those bigs are going to be difference in this year's tourney. 

My boy, Pomeroy has Duke vs KU in the final and I agree with him.

Boehiem has already said Onauku won't be playing this weekend and possibly not the next weekend if they make it that far.

Who is going to knock Duke out? Louisville? No. Purdue? No. Texas A & M? Maybe, but probably not.  Baylor or the Vill in the elite 8 have the best chance.

Spread out?

The Metro area is the BIGGEST PEROID.

it's not just "luck" they play 3 games a yr AT LEAST in this Area.

maybe white people all over do, but there is a def reason for the large part here

"Possibly" being the key word. He sounded though like by that time it would be ok. Rick jackson and kris joseph are solid though. They should beat either gonzaga or fsu without him. Gonzaga would be more of a concern but the noles dont impress me that much and im a fan of them.

As a a UNC fan, not always ez to admit when Duke shines, but as a gambler Duke went 5-1 for me this year, only loss being Baylor last week. I'm thinking Duke -3,-3.5, and I'll gladly lay the points-
